Less than 24 hours after the Sixers were awarded the No. 3 overall pick in next month's NBA Draft during the NBA Draft Lottery, President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo says that the team is already receiving trade offers for the pick.

"I've already had one offer come in for the No. 3 pick," Colangelo said Wednesday Afternoon on the Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic. "I found it somewhat interesting, but not enough to jump and make a decision today."

Despite interest in the pick, Colangelo says that the Sixers have already begun doing their due diligence on the top prospects in this year's class, and that regardless of who winds up being the selection, the organization is confident that they will be a fit alongside Ben Simmons.

"We've looked at the group of top-draft prospects all along, and said; these guys can play alongside Ben Simmons," Colangelo said Wednesday morning, on 97.5 The Fanatic. "Especially if he's playing point guard. Let's not forget who Ben is. Ben is a ball-handling basketball player. He's going to thrive with the ball in his hands. He's going to instinctively come back to the ball, after he handles it.

"You don't want him competing against someone out there, who's doing the same thing. We want to get down the court the opposite way. It's going to have to be a learned-habit. When you do put a true-point guard out there alongside Ben Simmons, you're going to have to train them to play off of the ball. Some guys do that naturally."

Colangelo explained that the Sixers aim to play a style of basketball that thrives around players with high basketball-IQs, who can mesh alongside the likes of Simmons, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric.

The NBA Draft is set to be held on June 22 at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, where the Sixers will likely aim to round out the starting five and find some roster balance to compliment the bigs already on the squad.
