Report: 76ers ‘ramping up’ efforts to acquire No. 3 pick from Celtics

By WEEI

It wouldn’t be draft day without a few rumors.

According to ESPN, the 76ers are ramping up their efforts to acquire the No. 3 pick from the Celtics in Thursday’s draft. It would seem likely the 76ers would want to select Providence guard Kris Dunn, but could also take Buddy Hield or Jamal Murray.

The report also adds the player the 76ers are shopping most is forward Nerlens Noel and it’s “more and more likely” he gets traded. Noel is originally from Malden, Massachusetts and played two years at Everett High School before transferring to the Tilton School.

He was the sixth overall pick in the 2013 draft.
