The Philadelphia 76ers were rewarded with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018. On paper, the 76ers had one of the best star trios in Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey. However, injuries prevented the team from reaching its true potential in their first year together.

While the Philadelphia 76ers have options in the 2025 NBA Draft, this scenario would produce their perfect outcome for the future.

The Philadelphia 76ers own the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA draft as they look to add a young piece to the roster in an effort to bounce back after a miserable season. The Sixers certainly need an injection of youth into a roster that relied so much on older players in 2024-25 which proved to be a mistake in today's NBA.
