Why 21 teams will regret passing on Labaron Philon Jr.

title : 21 Teams Said No. He Just Became the 76ers' Most Dangerous Weapon. description : Labaron Philon Jr. is the biggest steal of the 2026 NBA Draft. Selected 22nd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers, the Alabama guard arrives with a historic sophomore season: 22 points, 5 assists, 50% shooting — the ONLY Division 1 player in the country to put up those numbers. 21 teams overthought it. Philly simply read the numbers. With a handle compared to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a 725-point season — 3rd all-time in Alabama history — and a 35-point game against Michigan in March Madness, the résumé speaks for itself.
