The Philadelphia 76ers are sitting out of the 2025 playoffs following a miserable season that was decimated by injuries. The Sixers were expected to compete for a title after a busy 2024 offseason, but instead, they finished 24-58 as injuries took their toll on a talented roster.

As the Sixers now forge ahead, they do have some tools to bounce back. They have the No. 3 pick in the 2025 draft, which is a powerful tool to have in their arsenal as they move forward. They can either dangle the No. 3 pick and see if they can land a big fish in a trade or they make a selection to add a talented young player to a roster in need of an injection of youth.
