The Philadelphia 76ers have a rich draft history, particularly noted for their selection of Jerami Grant as the 39th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. Grant, who came out of Syracuse, notably forged a significant role during his time with the Sixers, averaging 6.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in his rookie season. His performance steadily improved, leading to a trade to the Oklahoma City Thunder where he was part of a deal that brought Ersan Ilyasova and a future draft pick that became Tyrese Maxey.

After his tenure with the Sixers, Grant showcased his scoring prowess with the Detroit Pistons, averaging 20.9 points over two seasons. He currently plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, where he continued to build on his scoring ability, averaging 21.0 points in the 2023-24 season before facing injury challenges in the subsequent year.
