Philadelphia 76ers Cannot Trade Up In NBA Draft Despite Fit

In the 2015 NBA lottery, the Philadelphia 76ers faced a dilemma. On one hand, should the team package draft assets at an attempt to wrest a top pick opportunity from the Minnesota Timberwolves? The prize was heralded center Karl Anthony Towns. On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers were swimming in assets. Rather, the chance at assets. Aiming at that 2015 NBA Lottery, the Philadelphia 76ers had the optimal outcome of picking 1, 6,11, and 19.

Best case-scenario for #Sixers in 2015 #NBA Draft: Nos. 1, 6, 11 & 19. Worst-case (right now): only No.
