  • Former Kentucky players Isaiah Briscoe, Aaron Harrison and Alex Poythress are among those trying to impress the Philadelphia 76ers this week during a mini-camp leading up to summer league.

    The 6-foot-3 Briscoe went undrafted last week, and his participation with the Sixers was first reported by ZAGSBLOG. The 6-6 Harrison went undrafted in 2015 and the 6-7 Poythress in 2016. All three are playing in the mini-camp alongside numerous players, including No. 1 draft pick Markelle Fultz.

    “It’s a blessing,” Briscoe said Thursday at the Sixers’ facility in Camden, N.J. “I thank God for being in this position. I am going to take full advantage of it. I am enjoying the process. I’m having fun with it, just out here competing with these guys. It has been fun.” 

    One day after reports hit that the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers were discussing a blockbuster trade for the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, the Sixers were set to host a blockbuster set of workouts.

    On Saturday, the Sixers hosted Kentucky point guard De’Aaron Fox in the morning, and were set to host Washington guard Markelle Fultz later in the day. The 6-foot-4 Fultz, the projected No. 1 pick, was previously set to work out for Boston on Saturday.

    Boston owns the No. 1 pick in the draft, but is reportedly ready to deal it for the Sixers’ No. 3 pick plus their 2018 first-round pick via the Lakers.

    The Sixers also had Kentucky shooting guard Malik Monk in on Thursday and Kentucky big man Isaac Humphries on Friday.
