Sixers Snag 11th Overall Pick, Can Either Draft Reggie Miller or Kendrick Brown
The Sixers now hold the rights to the eleventh overall pick in next month's NBA Draft after Tuesday night's draft lottery.
Last season the Trail Blazers selected Meyers Leonard 11th overall, a center from Illinois.
In the 2011 draft, the Warriors selected Klay Thompson with the 11th overall pick, a player who broke out this season.
Reggie Miller was selected by the Pacers in 1987 and is regarded as one of the best 3-point shooters of all-time.
However, Jerome Moiso was selected by the Celtics in 2000 and was out of the league and playing in Italy 6 years later.
Below is a list of players drafted 11th overall since 1980, needless to say Sam Hinkie has plenty of work to do in the scouting department.
The Sixers also hold two second round picks next month.
