Sixers hold workout with former first-round pick Sam Dekker, former Sixer Tony Bradley, others

The 76ers worked out former first-round NBA draft pick Sam Dekker.

The 6-foot-9 forward was part of a workout for multiple former NBA players, including former Sixer Tony Bradley, Jarrett Culver, and Stanley Johnson.

Dekker last played in the league during the 2021-22 season. He logged one minute with the Toronto Raptors before being waived on Nov. 6, 2021.

But there was a lot of hype surrounding Dekker coming out of the University of Wisconsin following his junior season. He was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 18th pick of the 2015 draft. At the time, Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey was the Rockets’ general manager.

After two seasons with the Rockets, Dekker had stints with the Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Washington Wizards. In five NBA seasons, Dekker averaged 5.4 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting just 28.8% on three-pointers.

He later spent two seasons overseas, playing for PBC Lokomotiv Kuban of Russia’s VTB United League in 2019-20 and Türk Telekom of the Turkish Süper Lig in 2020-21.

With hopes of returning to the NBA, Dekker signed with the Raptors on Aug. 10, 2021. After being waived by the Raptors, Dekker went overseas for a second time. He signed with Bahçeşehir Koleji of the Turkish Süper Lig on Dec. 4, 2021 and spent the last two seasons playing for the London Lions of the British Basketball League. Dekker led the Lions to the BBL championship and was named league MVP during his first season.

The Sixers acquired Bradley on Nov. 23, 2020, from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Zhaire Smith. The center played in 20 games, with eight starts, during the 2020-21 season before being sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the three-team deal on March 25, 2021.

The 26-year-old went on to play 1½ seasons with the Chicago Bulls before signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Dallas Mavericks, who waived and assigned him to their NBA G League team, the Texas Legends.

Meanwhile, Culver was the sixth pick in the 2019 draft by the Phoenix Suns out of Texas Tech. The swingman was traded shortly afterward to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Cam Johnson and former Sixer Dario Šarić.

After two seasons in Minnesota, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. Then on Sept. 12, 2021, the 25-year-old signed a two-way deal with the Atlanta Hawks. He was waived on Jan. 14, 2023. He played this past season for the Houston Rockets’ G League team, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

Johnson was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the eighth pick in the 2015 draft. The forward averaged 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds over an eight-year NBA career with the Pistons, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs.

The 28-year-old forward played this past season in the G League with the Stockton Kings.

Player development coach Jason Love is leaving the Sixers to reunite with coach Doc Rivers as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks coaching staff.

Love, a Philly native, was hired by the Sixers in September 2019 as a player development associate. He spent that season on Brett Brown’s coaching staff. The 36-year-old remained after Rivers replaced Brown in October 2020. Love spent this past season on Nick Nurse’s staff.

The former Abington Friends standout was an all-Atlantic 10 selection at Xavier before playing professionally overseas for 12 years in Belgium, Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, and Argentina.

Rivers was hired by the Bucks in January on the heels of Adrian Griffin’s firing. After just 43 games, Griffin was let go midway through his first season despite having one of the league’s top records.
