NEW YORK _ The 76ers acquired another center.
The Orlando Magic drafted 7-foot-2 Latvian post player Anzejs Pasecniks with the 25th pick and traded him to the Sixers for a future first-round pick. The pick is a protected 2020 first-rounder, according to NBA.com, so it is protected in picks 1 through 20. It would turn into two second-rounders if the pick doesn't convey.
The 21-year-old averaged 7.8 points, 3.1 rebounds this past season in Spain.
The Sixers already have Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor and Richaun Holmes on the roster as centers.
