Is The Process finally ready to produce Results? The Philadelphia 76ers' fan base sure seems to think so.
According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Sixers have sold 14,000 season tickets for the 2017-18 season, a franchise record and currently more than any other NBA team. The Wells Fargo Center - which holds a capacity of 19,500 - is expected to be sold out for all 41 of the Sixers' regular-season home games, and the team will reportedly have to roll out a waiting list to accommodate the demand for tickets.
Having already built some excitement with a promising 2016-17 season, in which Joel Embiid exploded onto the scene and Dario Saric arrived from overseas to produce a Rookie-of-the-Year-caliber campaign, the Sixers fanned the flames by acquiring the No. 1 pick in the draft, which they'll use to fill their position of greatest need by selecting point guard phenom Markelle Fultz.
Add to that mix the belated arrival of last year's No. 1 pick, Ben Simmons, and it's easy to understand why the long-suffering fans in Philly are feeling eager about the season to come.
