That's why they made the Butler trade. Fultz is a bust. And so is Frank who was recently moved to the bench. Although, I think I'd rather have Frank.

I mean, at the time he was worth it.

Hindsight is 20/20...

Agreed. There was no way to predict this one. One of the stranger cases.

He wasnt worth to move up from #3 to #1 adding the basically unprotected Kings pick

Arguments can be made for that, for sure. I thought given the makeup of their roster, Tatum was the easier pick. Boston did a magnificent job leading up to that draft in getting what they got: extra 1st rounder and their guy all along.

I think the 76ers saw their chance to get a dominant guard to go along with Simmons and Embid. Hindsight shows the shooting and off ball skills of Tatum with Simmons was the best fit. Is what it is. That draft was definitely worth the tank though.
