NBA draft returning to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center

Los Angeles Lakers – Tuesday night could have been an awkward one for Lakers’ general manager Mitch Kupchak had his team fallen out of the top three and been forced to convey their 2016 first round pick to Philadelphia. Simmons has been widely projected as the best prospect in his draft class for quite some time, and the Sixers (even after a front office regime change that involved Sam Hinkie leaving town) have historically taken the best player available at their draft position.
Sixers strike gold: The Philadelphia 76ers will have their first No. 1 overall selection in the forthcoming NBA Draft since acquiring former MVP Allen Iverson in 1996.
Ben Simmons is the generally accepted front-runner to be the top overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
The 2016 NBA Draft Lottery was a highly anticipated event that ended up being rather uninteresting as the lottery order stayed chalk, finishing exactly as predicted.
76ers rally at Art Museum ” We deserve some type of relief for the pain we all experienced trying to grow our program”, head coach Brett Brown said.
The 2016 NBA Draft will be headlined by Ben Simmons of the LSU Tigers and Brandon Ingram of the Duke Blue Devils.
That connection could be very helpful in convincing the 19-year-old to play in Philadelphia. “I look at him as a ball-handling four”. When you say, ‘What is your identifiable, National Basketball Association elite skill?’ most people will go immediately to passing. The news prevailed in the air which could compel Simmons to slide behind Ingram in the draft.
Should the 76ers do choose Simmons, Brown’s strong roots to Australia could open the way for the Melbourne-born teen to join the Australian Olympic team this year, despite Simmons having already indicated he was unavailable to go to Rio.
Simmons gives the Sixers the best shot at a star, but he will also indirectly cause other roster moves for the team. It was only a matter of time, but now that it’s set in stone, it has to hurt a little bit more.
