Per Matt Moore of CBS Sports, Dario Saric will finally be in a Sixers uniform and play for them next season. The father of Saric reportedly confirmed this news – though I’ll believe it when I hear it out of Sam Hinkie’s mouth. I can easily see Hinkie making the decision to tank next year as well.
Saric is currently playing in Turkey on a three year contract. Saric is averaging 11.9 points per game playing for Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Basketball Super league. He’s also shooting 58 percent from the floor and 45 percent from three-point range, which I’m sure (at least I hope) is music to the ears of the Sixers organization.

Saric was drafted by the Sixers with the 12th pick in the 2014 NBA draft. He has a ton of upside, but it’ll be interesting to see how he fits into this lineup.
Hopefully, he’ll bring some of that next year – if Hinkie sets him free.
