The Philadelphia 76ers, who drafted the 2013-2014 Rookie of the Year, former Syracuse Orange point guard Michael Carter-Williams, and acquired who many originally thought was the top prospect in the 2013 NBA Draft, former Kentucky Wildcats’ big man Nerlens Noel, will again be one of the teams to watch in the draft this year.

The 76ers own the third and 10th overall picks in next month’s draft and also have five second round picks – numbers 32, 39, 47, 52, and 54. 

That’s why the 76ers have been busy working out as many prospects as possible.

According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the 76ers hosted former North Carolina Tar Heels’ forward James McAdoo, former Connecticut Huskies’ forward Roscoe Smith, former Villanova Wildcats’ swingman James Bell, former Drexel Dragons’ guard Chris Fouch, former Louisville Cardinals’ forward Luke Hancock, and former Huskies’ forward Niels Giffey for workouts on Tuesday.
