“With the number 2 pick in the 2010 NBA draft the Philadelphia 76ers select, Evan Turner from Ohio State University.” This is the statement that Sixers fans have been waiting to hear since the draft lottery occurred on May 18th when the Sixers defied the odds and landed the second overall pick. This could possibly be one of the easiest draft decisions the Sixers have ever made and also one of the most productive in recent years. Not to knock what the Sixers have done in their last few drafts, because as far as I’m concerned they have done very well. With lottery pick Thaddeus Young in ‘07 (12th overall) and mid-round jewels Marreese Speights in ‘08 (16th overall) and Jrue Holiday in ‘09 (17th overall), the Sixers have stocked some promising young talent.

With that being said, none of these guys were expected to come in and be the key to turning this franchise around like Mr. Turner will be expected to do. But that is the weight that comes along with being the consensus National Player of the Year and the second overall pick in the NBA draft. The question is… is Evan Turner the answer to the Sixers problems?
