"Trust The Process": The 76ers Get the Number Three Pick Again!

The 2017 Draft order is all set and the Boston Celtics got the number one pick, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers and then the Philadelphia 76ers to round out the top three. It was the same exact three teams in the top three last year but the only difference was that the Celtics and the 76ers flipped places. The 76ers had actually gotten the fifth pick but since they had the swap pick with the Sacramento Kings who got number three they used the swap and now the Kings have number five and we got three. This the third time in four years the Sixers get the third pick via Kings this time.

What will the 76ers do? It will all depend on what the Celtics do and who they decude to take of cause and then if the Lakers decided to take Lonzo Ball from UCLA. The projected number one pick and best player in this year's draft is Markelle Fultz from Washington. There are already rumors that they might take Josh Jackson (Kansas) or Jayson Tatum (Duke) because they need a Small Forward more than a Point Guard. The next month will be very interesting for the 76ers and the rest of the teams in the lottery.

Markelle Fultz

Josh Jackson

Jayson Tatum

Lonzo Ball

Finally, getting the third pick isn't such a bad thing this is a deep class full of guards and that's what the Sixers really need. They need a guard that can shoot and possible play the point at times.

July 22, 2017 is the 2017 NBA Draft live from New York City!

I Will Probably do some mock drafts in the next month not sure yet stay tune.
