76ers: Yang Hansen won t be too far behind, if he slips, we will also want to choose

Recently, 76-member reporter Derek Bodner talked about the situation during the Yang Hansen talent show on the PHLY Philadelphia Sixers Podcast podcast.

"Although I'm not sure if we had the No. 16 pick at that time, the Xia Lian game confirmed that he was unlikely to fall to the back. Now we all know why the Trail Blazers chose him so decisively. It would be great if he fell to the back (we had the chance to win). In addition, he is still a very interesting guy, super interesting," said Derek Bodner.

The 76ers in the 2025 draft selected Edgecomm with the 35th overall pick and selected center Joni Bloom from Auburn University; the Trail Blazers, who originally had the No. 11 draw, traded downward to get the No. 16 + the first round pick in 2028 (Magics) plus two second round picks, and finally selected Chinese player Yang Hansen with the No. 16 draw.
