The Sixers will have the opportunity to add another lottery pick to their young core.
The Sixers landed the No. 10 pick in Tuesday night's NBA draft lottery. The selection conveyed to the Sixers via the Los Angeles Lakers and dates back to the Michael Carter-Williams trade in 2015. The selection was also in play for the Boston Celtics as part of the Markelle Fultz deal.
“Probability suggested this is where we would end up tonight, both keeping the pick and selecting at No. 10,” Sixers president Bryan Colangelo said in a statement. “Given the depth of the draft pool, we expect to be in a position to add another talented young piece to our developing core.”
