Sixers Sell Franchise-Record 14000 Season Tix
Fultz, the talented former University of Washington guard, is the 76ers’ impending No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night’s NBA Draft. “I see a lot of their players on their team are about the same things I’m about”.
Not only have the Celtics not worked out Jackson, but as of Wednesday afternoon, the 6-8 forward from Kansas had yet to even a conversation with Ainge, Boston’s president of basketball operations who will ultimately make the call on who to select in tomorrow night’s NBA draft. All of these questions will be answered during the draft, and we will be here to follow it all. Their fans have always been wanting to see postseason action once again, and with the lineup the team has for next year, they will have a legitimate chance of making it beyond the regular season, and potentially sell more tickets than what they’ve sold so far. If Tatum or Jackson develop into the players they are projected to be, screwing up the third pick might be just as impossible as screwing up the first pick.
ANALYSIS: Should the Philadelphia 76ers decide to pick Lonzo Ball, there are other options left for the Los Angeles Lakers who will pick at No. 2.
A starting lineup featuring Isaiah Thomas, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford is downright scary. “But then when they, you know, did the flip and went to No. 3, by then it was too late”.
“I think Fultz fits well with Ben Simmons because Fultz is a scoring guard”. I’m not anxious about what other people think and other people say.
L.A. isn’t going to trade this year’s No.2 overall pick, which will likely end up being UCLA’s Lonzo Ball. The Celtics would take whichever one is more favorable.
Speaking of the aptly named Fox, numerous intriguing NBA Draft betting props involve the over/under on what point of the draft certain budding stars will hear their name called at the Barclays Center on Thursday. “With the certainty of No. 1, we know we control our circumstances”. We watched the same Finals that everybody did.
“Embiid, he and I have been talking before when I was in college”, Fultz said.
“We felt like we were in the right position to make a deal”. Philadelphia will use the selection to draft Washington’s Markelle Fultz. It was agreed to in principle at that point, with the last holdup being the customary league approval on the terms.
IT’S GOT TO BE THE SHOES: When Fultz walks on stage to shake hands with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, he recommends you check out his feet. For now, Boston has seven first-round picks in the next three years. In any other draft Dennis Smith Jr. could quite easily be a consensus number one pick, the same could be said for Jayson Tatum. He was the top freshman scorer in the country. Ben Simmons didn’t lead LSU to the NCAA Tournament in his only season in Baton Rouge, and that didn’t stop the Sixers from making him the No. 1 pick past year.
Still, Jackson added that he’s open to playing for Boston if they draft him at No. 3.
