And with the 12th pick in the draft, the Philadelphia 76ers select.......


If I said the following three sentences to a stranger,

"The Sixers are playing at Detroit.

Willie Green, Bobby Jones, and Louis Williams will combine to shoot 48 times in the game.

The Sixers will win by 11 points."

the first thing you would ask me is, "When did Willie Green, Bobby Jones, and Louis Williams get traded to the Pistons."

The Sixers are now one game behind the Pacers, which would mean they would draft twelfth barring some sort of post-Easter miracle that vaults them into the Top 3. I am already envisioning Billy King's press conference explaining why he reached on Josh McRoberts with the 12th pick.
