    Sixers take Dennis Schroder No. 6 overall in 2013 NBA redraft

    Entering the 2013 NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers were coming off a disappointing season after the failed Andrew Bynum experiment. The Sixers were expected to be one of the top teams in 2012-13, but Bynum’s injury ruined that quickly.

    That season triggered the beginning of “The Process” era led by Sam Hinkie. He arrived in Philadelphia and made drastic changes. He sent All-Star Jrue Holiday to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 6 pick and used that to select Nerlens Noel.

    In a redraft of 2013 put together by HoopsHype , Dennis Schroder goes No. 6 in the redraft:

    A former starting point guard, Dennis Schroeder has been mostly coming off the bench over recent years, where he really thrives as more of a sixth man. Schroeder’s got great quickness and length and can score by getting to the basket or shooting threes, though he does lack consistency as a shooter. The German point guard is also a good defender for his position.

    Schroder has had a very solid 13-season career. He’s averaged 14 points and 4.8 assists for his career and has been a key contributor for almost every team he’s played for. His leading the charge for the Sixers in 2013 would have been an interesting sight to see.
