But in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers currently have their own first round pick.   In the second round, the team has their second, that of either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Brooklyn Nets (guess Nets), and a second round pick from the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers.

    There’s Gold In The 2018 NBA Draft Class

    The 2018 NBA Draft class is as loaded in the front court as the 2017 NBA Draft is loaded in the back court.  Right now, small forward Michael Porter Jr. leads a wave of talent into the ranks of NCAA men’s basketball for the 2017-2018 season.

    The University of Kentucky boasts shooting guard Hamidou Diallo, center Nick Richards, power forward P.J. Washington, power forward Jarred Vanderbilt and point guard Quade Green.  UCLA counters with small forward Kris Wilkes and point guard Jaylen Hands. Right now, that 2018 NBA Draft class looks every bit as deep as the 2017 NBA Draft class.
