Joel Embiid to represent Sixers at draft lottery

The young center will be the face of the franchise when the order for the June 22 draft is revealed.

Joel Embiid will represent the 76ers next Tuesday at the NBA draft lottery at the New York Hilton Midtown. The young center will be the face of the franchise when the order for the June 22 draft is revealed.

The Sixers (28-54) finished this season with the fourth-worst record in the NBA. That assures them of getting a top-seven pick.

They will also get the Los Angeles Lakers' first-round pick if it falls out of the top three slots. The Sixers also have the right to swap first-round picks with the Sacramento Kings.
