The pride of the “Trust the Process” era in Philadelphia will represent the team that he has given so much hope to. The 76ers will be repped by their star big man, Joel Embiid, at the draft lottery as they hinted on their Twitter account earlier today.

There are a few things that can almost be guaranteed for Embiid at the draft lottery. One, he will be the funniest representative, two, he will wear the most “Trust the Process” gear and three, he will have multiple excellent social media posts. The Sixers are hoping that they will be able to have multiple picks in the lottery when they simultaneously root for themselves and against the Lakers who owe them a pick if it falls outside the top 3.
The 76ers tease was then confirmed by Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courrier. Hopefully the lottery will be stocked with cherries and straws.
