Basketball fans in the City of Brotherly Love still "trust the process."
The Liberty Ballers blog hosted a party at XFinity Live! in South Philadelphia Tuesday for the NBA's draft lottery, with hundreds of 76ers supporters filling the venue to catch the festivities.
A banner of former general manager and president of basketball operations, Sam Hinkie, was hoisted above the crowd to a thunderous applause.
The Sixers have an 11.9 percent chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick. They're also in the running to receive the Los Angeles Lakers' pick should it fall out of the top three, and can swap picks with the Sacramento Kings should they somehow jump them.
