2015 NBA Draft results: Sixers select Luka Mitrović with pick No. 60
With the final pick of the draft, Philadelphia grabbed a Serbian power forward.


The Philadelphia 76ers grab Luka Mitrović with the 60th and final pick of the 2015 NBA Draft.
This year’s “Mr. Irrevelant,” as players who are drafted with the final pick are nicknamed, is a 6’8, 22-year-old forward from Serbia. He’s averaging 10 points on 49 percent shooting with Red Star Belgrade, with range that extends to the three-point line (shooting 34 percent), in a breakout season that has him average 24 minutes per night. While he may stay in Europe for a while, there’s a decent chance he could develop into a decent scoring forward and make it over stateside for the Sixers in the future.
With the final picks of the draft -- the very last one, in this case -- all teams are trying to do is select players who have a skill or two that indicate potential to one day grow into an NBA player of any caliber. If Mitrović can do that, this pick will be an outstanding success.
