Re-drafting No. 11 pick for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013 NBA draft

It's time to go back in time and look at the draft history of the Philadelphia 76ers. There have been a number of selections made by this franchise and now is the time to look at some of those moves and see who they could have picked on those specific nights.

This edition continues to focus on the 2013 NBA draft as the Sixers had two early picks. They made a big trade with the New Orleans Pelicans to acquire the No. 6 pick, but they held the No. 11 pick of their own. The 11th pick turned out to be Syracuse star Michael Carter-Williams, who went on to win Rookie of the Year in the 2013-14 season, but then was unable to sustain that success as he turned into a journeyman in the league.

A re-draft of 2013 was performed by HoopsHype and they have the Sixers selecting Mason Plumlee with the No. 11 pick:

Another former Blue Devil and a teammate of Seth Curry's in college, Mason Plumlee, outperformed his draft positioning. Plumlee is a tough-nosed big man, one who sets good screens, can finish around the basket and likes to do the dirty work. His poor length and lack of skill from outside of the paint hinder his impact, but overall, he was a solid role player.

Plumlee has put together a solid 13 years in the league as he has bounced around a bit, but he has made impacts everywhere he's played. He has career averages of 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds while playing for the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, and San Antonio Spurs.
