The Sixers have selected some big-time players in the past who have become an important part of the fabric of the franchise's history.This edition skips ahead to the 2023 draft.

The Sixers didn't have any picks, so they had to bring in a rookie the undrafted way.

The Sixers brought in Ricky Council IV on a two-way deal after a productive collegiate career with Wichita State and Arkansas.

Council averaged 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in the 2023-24 season playing in 32 games as a rookie which earned him a standard deal with Philadelphia.

He made an impact in a handful of games including coming off the bench and helping the Sixers rally to beat the San Antonio Spurs in overtime as well a win over the Washington Wizards on the road.Council was expected to be a consistent player in coach Nick Nurse's rotation in his second season, but he was unable to break through which puts a lot of pressure on him to perform in the 2025-26 season.
