UCLA. Lonzo Ball. 2. player. 93. . PG

A reminder that this isn’t the Lakers pick that is owed to Philadelphia, as that is top-three protected. This is actually the 76ers pick from their fourth position in the lottery.

In the past the 76ers have had awful lottert luck but it appears as if that changed this year.

The 76ers select the most dynamic playmaker this class as to offer, Lonzo Ball.

Even though there has been some back and forth about whether or not Ball would sign with any team other than the Lakers once his contract is over, the 76ers decide it’s worth the risk.

Ball would immediately bring athleticism, shooting, and creativity to a team which lacks all three in its backcourt.

He would be a starter from day one and immediately revitalize the 76ers franchise with his swag and confident demeanor.

The best part about the 76ers drafting Lonzo Ball is that Ball can play two positions and give the 76ers options to play with in regards to setting their lineup.

He’s a player Philadelphia can build around and start to frame their franchise around.

If Joel Embiid is ever able to stay healthy, it gives them one of the scariest guard- big men combos in the league.
