Despite only having a 6 percent chance at landing the No. 2 pick, the Sixers pulled out a miracle and completely defied the odds on Tuesday night. A few weeks back, I profiled five players the Sixers should draft at No. 6. I'm happy to report that list is now completely meaningless.

The Nets hyped up 2010 as everything anew. On their website, they talked about new ownership, a new arena, top draft picks, and cap room to sign free agents. New Jersey hoped they would get the top pick. It's hard to blame them—they were horrible this year. What's worse, the Nets did not even tank. They played hard and still faltered to a 17-70 season. The truth is they simply were not ...

Could this be a sign of misfortunes to come with the Nets under the regime of Prokohorov? Who knows?
