As expected, the Sixers took what many considered the second best player in the draft in Evan Turner. Turner filled the big need at shooting guard and will be a great piece to team with Jrue Holiday giving the Sixers a young, highly talented backcourt with size. The Sixers are rebuilding and Turner provides a NBA ready player that they can plug in from day one. The Sixers will be ready to see what the rookie Evan Turner can contribute in the upcoming 2010-2011 season.06/24/10: Sixers Draft Party - Wachovia Center

The Sixers will have a big decision tomorrow as they go on the clock to select the #2 pick in the NBA Draft Thursday night. The question is will the Sixers pick what many believe will be Ohio State PG/SG Evan Turner with their pick. The Sixers have a huge hole at the shooting guard position and Doug Collins is already on record stating that he sees Andre Iguodala as a small forward and Thaddeus Young as a hybrid power forward. Currently no one on the Sixers roster has starting shooting guard written on them. The logical choice would be Turner as he would immediately become the starting two guard for the Sixers.
