The Top Twitter Reactions to the Sixers Getting the First Overall Pick

Tuesday night was one of the more exciting nights since, well, the Eagles selected Carson Wentz second overall in the NFL draft last month. This city has a lot to be excited about right now. The Eagles have their future franchise signal caller, the Sixers are set to pick a superstar in Ben Simmons with two more first-round picks, and more picks next year that should be high selections, the Flyers are building a really young and exciting squad under the watch of Ron Hextall, and the Phillies are young, exciting, and 7 games over.500 and a half game out of first place in the NL East.

There’s also this to be excited about:

Prior to 2016
Last time #Sixers picked No.1- Iverson
Last time #Phillies picked No.1- Burrell
Last time #Eagles picked No.2- McNabb

Ben Simmons on likely being a Sixer or a Laker: "It's like applying to be a doctor, then being forced to work at Burger King or McDonald's."

regardless of what happens, I saw a Sixers JaVale McGee jersey and a Sixers Eric Maynor jersey. Process works.

If Ben Simmons and/or Joel Embiid works out, 3 years is going to seem like a comically small time in retrospect.
