The 76ers took the best available player, who just happens to be another towering post player.
The team selected Duke center Jahlil Okafor with the third pick in the NBA draft Thursday night at the Barclays Center at Brooklyn.
The Sixers were expected to take Ohio State guard D’Angelo Russell in that spot. But they settled on Okafor after Russell went second overall to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Okafor is a 7-foot, 275-pound man-child with an imposing presence on the blocks.
