Here is a list of the last five players selected with the No. 3 pick of the NBA draft after the Philadelphia 76ers earned the No. 3 pick.

Now, Almansa isn't as young (19) or as big (6'10"), but he also isn't as raw. He has intriguing ball skills as both a high-post playmaker and a face-up attacker, and he shows soft touch on in-between shots like hooks and floaters. His motor runs high on the glass and the defensive end, too.

The Charlotte Hornets were given the No. pick in the 2025 NBA Draft in Monday's draft lottery. Another heartbreak ending for a franchise that desperately needs a boost.
