The Pistons have now lost 27 straight games, passing the 2013-14 Sixers for the longest single-season streak. If Detroit loses their next two, it could erase Sam Hinkie’s team from more ugly history.
From 2013 to 2016, Sam Hinkie was the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers. He might not have been able to see his rebuild through, but he recently showed love to his biggest draft selection.

Flashback to May of 2015 and the Sixers had one of the brightest futures across the NBA. They held possession of 13 first-round picks over the next eight seasons and 34 selections in total.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have employed some controversial strategies to tank. There is no doubt that the majority of NBA franchises require lottery picks, preferably top-5 picks to eventually build a championship-level roster.
Do you see the beauty in the Minnesota Timberwolves adding a third elite player to their roster? What am I talking about? Well, the Timberwolve have relied upon the roster-building strategy of one Sachin Gupta, the right-hand man of the infamous and former GM of the Philadelphia 76ers, Sam Hinkie.
The slogan “Trust the Process” can be used in many situations for really any industry. Every time it is used, though, it’s always traced back to the Philadelphia 76ers.
A perennial MVP candidate was just the beginning of an excellent draft for Philadelphia in 2014. The 2022 NBA Draft is one month away on June 23. While we’re ticking off the days until the next group enters the Association, let’s take a look back at how a (somewhat) recent draft went down for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Joel Embiid has gone by The Process for quite some time. The big man took on the nickname during Sam Hinkie’s tenure in Philadelphia and continued to embrace after Hinkie was dismissed in 2016, something he didn’t agree with.

Sixers fans have mixed opinions on “The Process” and the results it has yielded on the court. One thing that all Sixers fans can agree on is that recent drafts have provided a lot of what-ifs.
The Sixers decided to kick off their hump day with some fairly substantial news. CEO Scott O’Neil is stepping down after eight years to pursue new opportunities.
