Season of National Basketball Association team the Philadelphia 76ers
NBA professional basketball team season
The 1973–74 NBA season was the 76ers 25th season in the NBA & 11th season in Philadelphia . The team improved from a league history worst 9 wins to 25 wins, thanks to a fruitful 1973 NBA Draft which yielded overall #1 pick Doug Collins . Eventual 76er mainstays George McGinnis and Caldwell Jones were also selected by the team, but both would opt for the ABA .
Fred Carter was the team's leading scorer who averaged over 20 points a game & Doug Collins was a rookie on this squad who was the #1 overall draft choice from Illinois State in the 1973 draft.[1]
