List of last 5 players selected with the No. 3 pick of the NBA draft
The Philadelphia 76ers were rewarded with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA draft after a disastrous 24-58 season. The Sixers were expected to contend for a title with all the moves they made, but injuries ruined any type of championship plans they had for the season.
With Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey playing only 18 games together--15 of which they finished--the Sixers were unable to have any type of success. It was tough sledding all season and President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey and Co. must now figure out the next move to put the right pieces around their star trio.
With the No. 3 pick, the Sixers have the chance to land an impact player and continue to grow with young talent. To get a better idea of what kind of player Philadelphia can get with the selection, here is a list of the last five players taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA draft:
2024: Reed Sheppard

2023: Scoot Henderson
Career stats (2 seasons): 13.3 ppg, 5.2 apg, 3.1 rpg, 0.9 spg, 40.1% FG, 34% 3FG

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Announces Shohei Ohtani News Before Padres Game
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Announces Shohei Ohtani News Before Padres Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hammered by injuries to their pitching staff. Among others, starting pitchers Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are on the injured list. Advertisement Last week, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes told Jon Heyman of the New York Post that the team is not currently planning to deal for a pitcher ahead of the MLB trade deadline. One of the biggest reasons for taking this approach is the looming return to pitching for two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Undergoing right elbow surgery in 2023, Ohtani has not pitched in a game since he was a member of the Los Angeles Angels. Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images For his MLB career, Ohtani has posted a 3.01 ERA with 608 strikeouts in 481.2 innings as a pitcher. If he can come anywhere close to this production, Los Angeles will have itself another frontline starter who would supplant the need for a trade deadline move. Advertisement On Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced some more encouraging news, revealing there is a non-zero chance Ohtani pitches before the All-Star break. "Dave Roberts said the chances are 'north of zero' that Shohei Ohtani could be back sooner than the post-All-Star break timeline originally anticipate," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic wrote on X. "Both Roberts and Mark Prior noted how good Ohtani looked over his three simulated innings today." This comes after Gomes told Heyman of Ohtani, "There's no reason to think he's not coming back." Now, it seems that return could be even closer than initially anticipated. This would be a huge boost for Los Angeles as it attempts to navigate significant injury misfortune, most notably to the pitching staff.

Pistons, Mavericks to play regular-season game in Mexico City on Nov. 1
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The NBA is going back to Mexico City next season, with the Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons set to play a regular-season game there on Nov. 1. The Mavericks currently have the No. 1 pick in this month's draft and are expected to select Duke's Cooper Flagg. The Pistons made a huge improvement this season and reached the Eastern Conference playoffs. It will be the NBA's 34th game in Mexico since 1992. 'We take significant pride in the fact that the Mavericks organization and our supporters reflect the increased globalization of basketball and the NBA," Mavericks CEO Rick Welts said. 'The vibrancy of Mexico City and the passion of its fans make it the perfect place to host these Global Games.' The full NBA schedule for next season isn't likely to be released until late summer. The league typically announces some international games ahead of that. 'Playing a regular-season game in Mexico City will be a great experience for our players and coaches," Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said. "And we look forward to showcasing Detroit basketball to an international audience and a passionate, growing NBA fanbase.'
