The lowly Philadelphia 76ers have totaled just 37 victories over the last two seasons, which is four fewer wins than they had in all of 2010-11.

It's not exactly the type of environment a young prospect looking to take the league by storm would be eager to join. Or is it?

The 76ers are in the market for a point guard after dealing away 2014 NBA Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams before the trade deadline, with Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell being near the top of their wish list when the 2015 NBA Draft goes down on June 25.

Some reports suggest that Russell would like to avoid Philadelphia, as Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times noted:

After trading point guard Michael Carter-Williams, the 2014 rookie of the year, to Milwaukee this past season, it would appear that the 76ers need a point guard. But the buzz around the NBA is that D’Angelo Russell, a 6-foot-5 point guard from Ohio State whom many see as a lesser Stephen Curry-type, doesn’t want to play for the unpredictable 76ers. Russell did work out for the 76ers last week.

But a conflicting report from Jonathan Givony of Draft Express suggests the opposite. Givony hears that Russell would be "thrilled" to play with the Sixers.

The 19-year-old combo guard canceled his original workout with the team, leading one to believe that perhaps he had a guarantee from either the Minnesota Timberwolves or Los Angeles Lakers that he'd be drafted with one of the first two picks.

That wasn't the case, though, as Russell ultimately rescheduled, with Keith Pompey of Philly.com reporting how impressed the All-American was with the organization afterward.

If he is indeed looking to avoid the 76ers taking him with the third overall pick, there's not a heck of a lot he can do about it as he has zero say in which franchise drafts him.

With the frontcourt of the future set with Nerlens Noel, Joel Embiid (if he can ever fully recover from his injured foot), and Dario Saric, general manager Sam Hinkie needs to prioritize finding a point guard to mesh with his bigs, with Russell being a perfect fit for the team he's trying to assemble.

Both Draft Express and ESPN's Chad Ford have Russell going fourth to the New York Knicks in their latest mock drafts, with the 76ers taking European prospect Kristaps Porzingis.

Russell averaged 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists during his only season at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes to an appearance in the Round of 32 in the March Madness tournament before ultimately falling to Arizona.
