The last three weeks of basketball have been a surprise to anyone accustomed to the last three years of following this team. After going 4-17 in their previous one possession games, the Sixers have magically turned into Kyra Sedgwick when the game is on the line. It’s been crazy! It’s been great! That said, this run has lottery consequences, and every win makes it less likely that the Sixers will have a great shot at the highest picks.
We’ll allow others to litigate the importance of having a very high pick in this particularly draft (although, for the record, I agree with Kyle that it should not be the highest priority at this point).
