Philadelphia 76ers: Worst Case Lottery Scenario

Last year’s draft lottery proved to be a joyous occasion for the Philadelphia 76ers organization. But as any team in this league knows, more often than not, the ping-pong balls rarely bounce your way, especially two years in a row (Unless you are the Cleveland Cavaliers). As Rich Hofmann points out in this Philly Voice article, A look at the Sixers and final 2017 NBA Draft Lottery odds, most combinations of lottery picks look rosy for the Sixers’ future.

However, one combination, which has a 2.98 percent probability, represents the worst possible outcome. Conceivably in this dreaded scenario, the Sixers would end up with the sixth pick alone without a helping hand from Los Angeles.
