No. 3 Markelle Fultz
Pick: 1st overall 2017 draft
Notable players selected after: Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo
What a mess. The Sixers made a trade with the rival Boston Celtics to move up and select Fultz with the top overall pick in 2017 and it turned out to be a nightmare. He played a grand total of 33 games in 1.5 seasons in Philadelphia due to a bizarre shoulder injury that was later diagnosed as thoracic outlet syndrome along with plenty of other off the court issues that almost seemed like it was straight out of a reality TV show. He was then sent to the Orlando Magic for Jonathon Simmons.
The Sixers could have had All-Stars like Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, and Bam Adebayo who have all become All-Stars in the league. Instead, they got mixed up in a nightmarish time with Futz and his infamous “camp”.
