Sam Hinkie had such a good first draft as Sixers GM, he even made some history.

After making a series of trades to end up with the 54th overall pick, the Sixers took Arsalan Kazemi in the second round of the NBA Draft on Thursday.

Kazemi, a 6-8, 225 lb power forward who played at Oregon, is the first Iranian player to ever be drafted into the NBA. It is unlikely, however, that Kazemi will play for the Sixers next season- he will most likely end up on the team's D-League team.

Here is a scouting report on Kazemi from NBA Draft Express:

Kazemi is another prospect who elected not to attend Portsmouth but found himself left out of Chicago, which added to the urgency of his situation in this 60-minute workout. Kazemi did a terrific job of reminding scouts of what he brings to the table, as he was dominant at times as a rebounder on both ends of the floor, and also showed solid potential in other areas as well, which will certainly help his cause. Kazemi spent a decent amount of time defending the perimeter in New Jersey as his team had more big men than guards, which ended up working out in his favor. He did a solid job in both straight-up man to man situations and as a pick and roll defender, moving his feet well, coming up with a number of deflections and steals, and looking very much under control despite the reckless abandon he plays with. Offensively, he made good decisions, passing the ball effectively and finishing the looks created for him around the basket.
