The ping-pong balls fell just right for Philadelphia on Tuesday night and now the 76ers will have the first pick in the NBA draft and have the opportunity to draft LSU star Ben Simmons or Duke star Brandon Ingram.
Many believe Simmons and Ingram to be the two best prospects in this draft class.
Drafting second will be the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Boston Celtics will get the third pick.
Philadelphia finished the season with the worst record, 10-72, which gave them the best chance at getting the top pick.
The Sixers had a 25 percent chance of landing the top pick, the best odds in the bunch. But the Lakers (19.9 percent) and Celtics (15.6 percent) weren’t far behind.
The draft will be held on June 23.
