The Philadelphia 76ers will wait 15 picks before taking a turn in the upcoming draft, but when it comes, a source to the Philadelphia Inquirer says the team will be drafting somebody with some height.

The source says the team doesn’t want anyone “under 6-8. We need a big,” the paper reports.

The only thing holding back such a selection, the paper notes, is a deal happening before the draft, “such as Andre Iguodala(notes) being dealt and a good big man being acquired in exchange.”

The Sixers ended up with a 41-41 record this past season and took on the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs, losing in five games.
