The Philadelphia 76ers add an interesting prospect to their NBA Summer League roster.
On Wednesday, the team announced its official roster, which included a former first-round pick to the Denver Nuggets.
The former five-star recruit was initially viewed as a potential lottery pick, but he slid on draft night. Just a few picks after the Sixers snagged Tyrese Maxey out of Kentucky, Hampton went off the board at No. 24 overall, landing him on the Milwaukee Bucks initially. Hampton’s draft rights were traded.
Over the next two seasons, Hampton competed for the Magic. However, midway through his third year, he found himself waived in late February. Hampton was picked up by the Detroit Pistons, sticking around there for the rest of the 2022-2023 season.
