The 76ers Gaming Club - a branch of NBA team Philadelphia 76ers - has announced that they have selected six players in the first NBA 2K League Draft at The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, all of which will be joining their team for the NBA 2K League.

Ethan 'Radiant' White was one of the players chosen, averaging 21.9 points, 10.9 assists, and 3.7 steals per game over 41 games in the NBA 2K League Combine. "Radiant is one extraordinary point guard. We were looking for an offensive weapon to build around and we were fortunate that Radiant was available at pick No. 14," 76ers GC General Manager Michael Lai said. "He is one of the most skilled players in the 102-player pool and had very high marks in our models. Beyond the metrics, his tape showed an offensive style that will translate well to what a team needs to succeed in the NBA 2K League."

Radiant will be joined by Antonio 'Newdini' Newman; Mihad 'IFEAST' Feratovic; Alexander 'Steez' Bernstein; Tilton 'xTFr3sHxX' Curry; and Rashann 'ZDS' Petty, all of which will train at the training complex in New Jersey for the league, which starts next month.

"We're extremely excited about the value we got across all six rounds," 76ers GC Assistant General Manager Ian Hillman said. "Our strategy was to leverage our analytical and NBA experience in our approach to roster construction. We believe that we drafted players who fit the culture we are trying to build and have complementary skill sets."
