He traded for Nerlens Noels last summer, despite knowing the 6-foot-11 rookie center would likely have to sit out the season recovering from knee surgery. Hinkie used this year's first-round picks on 7-foot center/power forward Joel Embiid and 6-10 forward Dario Saric. Embiid will most likely miss this season while rehabilitating a stress fracture in his right foot. Saric won't play for the Sixers until the 2016-17 season because he signed to play in the Turkish League.
