Round	Pick	Player	Position(s)	Nationality	College / club
1	16	Jared McCain	PG	United States	Duke
2	41	Adem Bona	C	Nigeria	UCLA

The 76ers entered this draft (which was two days long instead of one like it previously has been since the draft was shortened down to two rounds back in 1989) with a first-round pick and a second-round pick that originally belonged to the Chicago Bulls.^[2] They initially had another second-round pick of their own accord, but it was forfeited alongside their 2023 second-round pick due to tampering violations with respect to free agency.^[3] On the first night of the draft, the 76ers would select point guard Jared McCain from Duke University with their first round pick. Then, on the second day of the draft, the 76ers would select center Nigerian center Adem Bona from UCLA with their sole second round pick.
