[ASFN Admin]

The 2026 NBA Draft is nearly here so the speculation as to who the Philadelphia 76ers might take in the first round is almost over.

After coming back from a 3-1 deficit to upset the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, the Sixers' season ended with a thud when Philly was swept in the second round by the eventual NBA-champion New York Knicks.

What pick did the Sixers have?​

The 76ers hold the 22nd overall pick in the draft which the team acquired when it dealt guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder in February.

In the deal, the Sixers also acquired three future second-round picks for McCain — the No. 16 overall pick in the 2024 draft.

The Thunder owns the No. 17 overall pick which was acquired from Philadelphia in a salary dump that sent center Al Horford to OKC in 2020.
