Although the Sixers don’t have a second-round pick on Wednesday, June 24, the President of Basketball Operations, Mike Gansey, doesn’t rule out getting one.

They’ll exit the draft with a late first-round rookie and will scan the undrafted market for new additions.
It’s typical for a wave of rookies to get signed following the NBA Draft’s second round. The Sixers have been very active in the undrafted free agent market in the past.
Of course, they are rolling with a new front office this season. Gansey’s style has not been revealed just yet.

For the time being, the 76ers are excited about their top prospect, Labaron Philon Jr.
On Tuesday night, the Sixers went on the board with the 22nd pick, which they acquired in the Jared McCain trade. The team selected Philon Jr., a 20-year-old guard out of Alabama.
Entering college, Philon was a four-star recruit out of Mobile. He was a top 40 player in the country before firing up a two-year run with the Crimson Tide.
During his sophomore season in 2025-2026, Philon started all but one of his 33 games. He shot 50.1% from the field and 39.9% from three, to average 22.0 points per game.
Philon also came down with 3.5 rebounds per game and dished out 5.0 assists per game.
The second round of the NBA Draft is set to begin at 8 PM ET on Wednesday.
