Selected with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Philon will likely have to impress to take on a steady role after the 76ers added Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Anfernee Simons, Dean Wade and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) this offseason. Philon will need to prove he can be effective off the ball to see meaningful burn on a nightly basis during his rookie season, as the 76ers have plenty of ball-handlers ahead of him. The 20-year-old's off-ball movement and ability to hit catch-and-shoot threes could play a large part in his playing time, considering the Sixers also have Simons to handle the rock off the bench. Philon will also have to hold his own defensively to stay on the court. He earned All-SEC First Team honors with Alabama in 2025-26, averaging 22.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from beyond the arc in 30.9 minutes per game.

Milicic is set to compete for a spot on New York's regular-season roster, and the organization now holds his G League rights. The 24-year-old forward appeared in 45 outings with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats last season, averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.8 minutes per tilt.

After Smith's team option was declined by the Lakers in June, he will head overseas to suit up for Real Madrid. The 2023 No. 27 overall pick appeared in 141 regular-season games between the Hornets and Lakers before signing with Real Madrid, averaging 7.6 points, 1.7 assists and 1.6 rebounds over 17.5 minutes per contest.
