A Sixers draft day wish list that didn't come true

Prior to Thursday's draft day I made a wish list of players I would like to see the Sixers select, rationally or irrationally.

I really did, you can check out the original list on Philly.com here.

The Sixers however, had other plans. The team did not select any players that I had on my wish list, and instead went with the patience plan.

But just for kicks, or to revel in my inaccuracy, below is my draft day wish list for the Sixers. Considering the team's picks last night, it looks like I should start compiling one for next year also.

Sixers draft day wish list:

Andrew Wiggins, SG, Kansas – Elite athleticism, sky-high potential.

Noah Vonleh, F, Indiana – Nice skill set, could be a nice fit in the Sixers’ system.

James Young, SG, Kentucky – Could stretch the floor and provide the Sixers with another offensive option.
Rodney Hood, SF, Duke – Great size and a solid stroke.

T.J. Warren, F, N.C. State – Flat-out scorer; those are always good to have.

Adreian Payne, PF, Michigan St. – Could provide the Sixers with some frontcourt bulk and depth.

P.J. Hairston, G, Texas Legends – NBA-ready, solid shooter would could be a scorer for the Sixers.

Glen Robinson III, SF, Michigan – Sixers already had Jr., so they might as well grab the III.

DeAndre Daniels, SF, UConn – Athletic shooter. Could be a value pick in the second round.

Lamar Patterson, SG, Pitt – Some Pitt-bias with this one. Patterson has a solid offensive skill set, might make a decent role player.
