Nerlens Noel and his (hopefully) lucky flattop will be the Sixers' representative at the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday in New York City, per a report from The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey that the team itself later confirmed. The Sixers have the third-best odds at 15.6% of landing the first-overall selection in this year's NBA draft, while also possessing a 17.2% chance of landing the Los Angeles Lakers' top-five protected pick and a 9.1% shot at the receiving the Miami Heat's top-10 protected selection.
Julius Erving attended the lottery for the Sixers last year, looking a bit confused as to the situation regarding the placement of the Sixers' own pick as well as the top-five protected pick they had from the New Orleans Pelicans.
