duncan number one overall pick. we do think it will be ben simmons and all signs look to him. he was in philadelphia, interviewed with the sixers. he is a special talent. 6-foot ten, 240-pound, a hybrid point guard, forward type player and his one year at lsu he average 19 points, 12 rebound a game, about five assists. it is a done deal he goes number one overall. he posted something to his instagram that leads to you leave he will be number one pick and he said trust the process which is a old sam hinkie and he was seen hanging with joel embiid who has been cleared for action. that is a good thing. not ben simmons by some chance it is not, it could be brandon ingram from duke if the sixers change their mind. it looks like he will go number two to the los angeles lakers. 6-foot nine forward out of duke, very good outside shot, very good defender as well. ben simmons, brandon ingram

they are top two guys in this draft, something to look forward to tonight. also, all day long, it is this huge party going on here my man over here from the sixers. big day. sorry for screaming i'm excited city is on fire today. >> i don't think i met anybody as excited about christian at 5:35 in the morning. >> i will be there. let me know time and place. biggest draft party in history in philadelphia, draft king draft party we are excited, there will be 20 local philadelphia restaurant in here, everything is free, and sixers flight squad, sixers drummers, dancers, bobby jones, world be free, eric snow, just to name a few, doctor j. is there a dunk contest used by ai and there j. i don't know what else to a. >> thousands of people are showing up for this thing. >> we are expecting thousands.
