At 1-19, the Sixers are in line for another top draft pick this year and Sam Hinkie can't mess this one up. Next season has the most potential for the Sixers, with Joel Embiid's possible debut along with the continued play of Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor and any incoming rookies, one of whom will hopefully be Ben Simmons from LSU.
On top of that, Dario Saric, a supposed "hidden gem" overseas in Turkey, should suit up in a Sixers uniform as well. Though there haven't been a ton of recent rumblings regarding Saric, his father recently confirmed that his son Dario will indeed come to the US and play basketball for the Sixers next season.

Through seven games with Anadolu Efes Istanbul, Saric is averaging 11.3 points and 5.6 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game. That translates to 19 points and 9.4 rebounds per 36 minutes.
The Sixers acquired the rights to Saric along with picks during the 2014 draft from the Magic in exchange for Elfrid Payton.
Update (6:53pm) - SB Nation recently released a story about Saric's intention to play in Philadelphia next season and it included a semi-translated quote from Saric himself.
"It is up to me, and I want to go next summer. I do not know that I could make money to stay."
"The Sixers are a young and very talented team. The results do not show real strength. You will again high 'pick' in the draft, and I hope that it will quickly find chemistry. Do not worry about them." [SB Nation/Liberty Ballers]
