McCain is known for his scoring ability and his presence on social media. In the second round, with the 41st overall pick, the Sixers chose Adem Bona, a forward from UCLA, who brings strong defensive skills and athleticism to the team.<\/p>\n<p>Jared McCain played for the Duke Blue Devils before being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was a five-star recruit out of high school and was named the California Gatorade Player of the Year in his junior and senior years. He also played in the McDonald&#8217;s All-American Boys Game and was a finalist for Freshman Of The Year. Off the court, he&#8217;s known for his massive TikTok following, where he shares videos showcasing his life and personality.<\/p>\n<p>Adem Bona is from Nigeria who recently joined the Philadelphia 76ers as the 41st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Before his NBA journey, Bona played college basketball at UCLA, where he earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and All-Pac-12 First Team honors. Known for his high motor, defensive prowess, and impressive physical attributes, including a 7-foot wingspan, Bona is poised to make a significant impact as a backup center behind Joel Embiid. His energetic play, shot-blocking ability, and versatility on defense make him a promising addition to the 76ers roster.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Edwards, a Philadelphia native, is a talented basketball player who recently signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers after going undrafted in the 2024 NBA draft. Edwards, who stands at 6-foot-7 and 209 pounds with a 6-foot-10 wingspan, played one season at the University of Kentucky under head coach John Calipari before entering the draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the 2024 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jared McCain, a guard from Duke, with the 16th overall pick.
