Sixers’ picks: The Sixers have the 24th overall pick in the first round and four picks in the second round (Nos. 33, 34, 42 and 54). As always, expect trades.
What they’re looking for
Sixers’ beat writer Keith Pompey wrote recently, “[The Sixers] want someone who can immediately contribute. And they want that player to be able to stretch the floor, bring a defensive mind-set, play hard and display a maturity that enables him to fit and know his role.”
