Whether or not you liked the way the Philadelphia 76ers drafted on Thursday night, one thing is for sure. Ben Simmons on the roster makes the outlook better, no matter how you view it. The Sixers were unable to move back into the top-10 to try and select a point guard, so they drafted Timothe Luwawu with the No.24 pick and Furkan Korkmaz at No.26.
Philadelphia has added another forward to their depth chart in Boise State forward James Webb III.
Sources: 76ers and Boise State's James Webb III have agreed to a partially guaranteed two-year deal, with chance to compete for roster spot.

Webb played the last two season with Boise State, averaging 15.8 points and 9.1 rebounds this past year for the Broncos. He'll get to see game action with the team once Summer League play begins.
The Sixers begin Summer League on July 9 in Las Vegas against No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram and the Los Angeles Lakers.
