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

This edition looks at the 2011 NBA draft when the Sixers selected Nikola Vucevic<\/a> with the No. 16 pick after a surprise run to the playoffs. He played one season in Philadelphia<\/a> and averaged 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 51 games before he was sent to the Orlando Magic<\/a> in the big blockbuster trade that landed Andrew Bynum<\/a> in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

HoopsHype performed a re-draft of 2011<\/a> and they have the Sixers selecting Markieff Morris<\/a> with that pick as Vucevic went No. 5 in the re-draft:<\/p>\n

The other Morris twin hasn’t had quite as impactful a career as his brother, though he did boast a similar skill set as a versatile defender who provided floor-spacing and face-up scoring.<\/p>\n

Markieff Morris, the twin of Marcus, played 14 years in the league and averaged 10.2 points and 4.9 rebounds while shooting 44.3% from the floor and 34.1% from deep. He played for the Phoenix Suns<\/a>, the Washington Wizards<\/a>, the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, the Detroit Pistons<\/a>, the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>, the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, and the Miami Heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n
