Saric, the 12th overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, has been tentative about joining the Sixers organization, but it appears the power forward will finally make the jump to the NBA next year.
Considering the 76ers are 1-19 on the season, the addition of Saric to a roster severely lacking in talent can't come soon enough.
Saric, 21, currently plays for Andalou Efes in Turkey, where he is averaging 8.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. The power forward is believed to have All-Star potential according to many NBA scouts.
