It’s time to go back in time and look at the draft history of the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>. There have been a number of selections made by this franchise and now is the time to look at some of those moves and see who they could have picked on those specific nights.<\/p>\n

The Sixers held the No. 2 pick in the 2010 NBA draft following a tough 2009-10 season. They selected Ohio State’s Evan Turner<\/a> with that selection after a phenomenal season with the Buckeyes, and Turner turned in a solid career, but in hindsight, there were much better options for Philadelphia<\/a> in the draft.<\/p>\n

A 2010 re-draft performed by HoopsHype<\/a> has the Sixers selecting John Wall<\/a> who went No. 1 overall to the Washington Wizards<\/a>. To replace Wall, the folks at HoopsHype have the Wizards selecting Paul George<\/a> with the No. 1 overall pick.<\/p>\n

HH on Wall for the Sixers:<\/p>\n

The consensus top prospect from the 2010 draft, John Wall only falls one spot in our re-draft, which in part speaks to how good he was in his prime (he was a five-time All-Star and a one-time 3rd Team All-NBAer), and also how disappointing this class turned out to be, albeit mostly due to injuries. Wall was coming off five straight All-Star seasons when the injury bug bit him, at one point looking like the most explosive point guard in the league.<\/p>\n

Wall averaged 18.7 points, 8.9 assists, and 4.2 rebounds in his 11-year career. As mentioned, he got bit by the injury bug late in his career, but he and Bradley Beal<\/a> formed a formidable offensive duo with the two of them leading the Wizards to the doorstep of the Eastern Conference finals in a couple of different occasions. He would have been a great fit for the Sixers, but they also had just selected Jrue Holiday<\/a> in the 2009 draft, so Turner was the natural fit.<\/p>\n
