The Sixers have mopped up lottery picks over the last couple of years and The Process delivered a first trip to the playoffs in six years this season. Philadelphia landed the number 10 pick in the lottery, a selection which was conveyed to Pennsylvania via the Los Angeles Lakers, dating all the way back to the Michael Carter-Williams trade in 2015.
That means Philadelphia now has six draft picks on its hands – number 10 and 26 in the first round and number 38, 39, 56 and 60 in the second round. Having been chosen in the top three for the last four drafts, expect the Sixers to add further talent to their exciting young core.
The Mavericks thought they had done enough to land a high pick in the lottery. Dallas went 24-58 this season, its worst record since 1998-99 and even saw its owner fined for suggesting the team needed to tank.
Dallas had the third best odds going into the lottery but landed the number five pick, which left Dirk Nowitzki ruing his franchise’s rotten luck.
As the tweet below shows, the Mavs have precedent when it comes to being disappointed in the lottery.
Memphis had the second-best chance of securing the first overall pick and the second-best chance of landing a top-three pick. Unfortunately for the Grizzlies, they will pick at number four, the final disappointment of a season that saw them lose 60 games.
Theoretically, this year’s draft has enough talent to ensure Memphis could get its hands on an exciting prospect even when picking outside the top three, but the sense of disappointment will likely linger for a while in Tennessee.
