Sixers will pick No. 10 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft

By Josh Liddick, Sports Talk Philly editor 

The Philadelphia 76ers know where they will be picking once the NBA Draft rolls around on June 21.

After the lottery drawing, the Sixers will draft with the No. 10 selection in the NBA Draft.

After the Sixers were ousted by the Boston Celtics in five games just a week ago, the transition towards the offseason officially took full effect on Tuesday night when the ping pong balls were selected and the prospective lottery teams found out their placement for picking the best talent out of a pool of college players.

By way of the Los Angeles Lakers draft pick, which was acquired when Sam Hinkie dealt Michael Carter-Williams to the Bucks in a three-team deal with the Suns, the Sixers had the opportunity to either draft No. 1 (1.1% chance), or No.10 and higher (96.101%). Or the pick could've fell to the Boston Celtics at picks 2 through 5 (2.9%).

But the pick conveyed to the Sixers and the will be the 10th overall selection in this year's draft.

Along with the 10th overall pick, the Sixers also own picks No. 26, 38 via BKN, 39 via NYK, 56, and 60 via HOU.

Here are the results of this year's NBA Draft Lottery in the order the teams will be picking in the draft:

14. Nuggets

13. Clippers

12. Clippers (from Pistons)

11. Hornets

10. Sixers (from Lakers)

5. Mavericks

4. Grizzlies
