The draft lottery was kind to the Philadelphia 76ers as they were able to keep their top 6 protected pick. The Sixers moved up from No. 5 in the lottery position to No. 3 once the lottery results were revealed and it puts the franchise in a good spot to bounce back after a miserable 2024-25 season.

The Sixers have not held a lottery pick since 2018. The team drafted Mikal Bridges at No. 10 but traded him to the Suns in exchange for No. 16 pick Zhaire Smith and a 2021 first-rounder.

The Philadelphia 76ers may not get Cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper, but they may already know who they want at No. 3!

The expectation is that the Dallas Mavericks will take Cooper Flagg at No. 1 overall, while the San Antonio Spurs are a wild card at No. 2 and could either stay put or perhaps trade it for a veteran star (cough, cough, Giannis Antetokounmpo, cough).

In the first mock draft after the lottery results, the Philadelphia 76ers select VJ Edgecombe with the No. 3 overall pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers hit it big in the 2025 NBA Draft lottery by receiving the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft. While it's a relief that the Sixers will be compensated with a high pick after their awful season,

The Sixers have limited funds to spend this offseason. How will adding an eight-digit rookie scale salary impact free agents Quentin Grimes and Guerschon Yabusele?
