To that end, the Sixers' group includes Roy Bright (Delaware State), Charron Fisher (Niagara), John Griffin (Bucknell) and Gary Ervin (Arkansas).

The two-round draft will be held Thursday. The Sixers do not have a second-round pick.

The 6-6 Bright averaged 19.1 points and 5.3 rebounds as a senior, spending two seasons at Delaware State after transferring from Garden City Community College and Cincinnati; he withdrew from last year's draft after applying for early eligibility. The 6-4 Fisher, from Roman Catholic, averaged 27.6 points and 9.5 rebounds as a senior and was the leading scorer in the Portsmouth Invitational, the league-sanctioned postseason venue primarily for potential second-round picks and free agents. The 6-1 Griffin, from Saint Joseph's Prep and the son of former Hawks and Siena coach John Griffin, averaged 13.1 points as a senior.

Ervin, a 6-foot guard and transfer from Mississippi State, averaged 9.5 points and 3.8 assists as a senior. *
