Sixers Draft Pick Tracker – April 9th, 2015
Updated: Thursday, April 9, 2015 08:01 AM
Overview:
| Season | FG% - Qt 1-3 | FG% - Qt 4 + OT | TOV% - QT 1-3 | TOV% - QT 4 + OT |
| 2012-13 | 42.8% | 39.0% | 10.1% | 14.7% |
| Career | 43.2% | 41.7% | 10.3% | 12% |
Sixers pick (currently 3rd):
- Knicks lost (bad): The loss keeps the Knicks 3 wins behind the Sixers with 4 games left to play.
- Lakers lost (bad): The Lakers are still 2 wins behind the Sixers. The Sixers need any combination of 2 Philadelphia losses or Los Angeles wins to clinch the 3rd worst record.
- Minnesota lost (bad): Minnesota lost to Portland, which keeps them with 2 wins less than the Sixers with 4 left to play.
- Sixers lost (good): The Sixers loss was bad for the OKC pick, but at least it allows them to keep pace with the bottom feeders. The Wolves (8 straight losses), Sixers (7 straight), and Lakers (5 straight) are all on major slides.
| Days Rest | Games | FG% | 3pt% | PPG |
| 0 | 22 | 37.1% | 26% | 12.1 |
| 1 | 38 | 43.4% | 44.4% | 13.6 |
| 2 | 17 | 45% | 33.3% | 14.4 |
| 3 | 5 | 39.3% | 50% | 13.4 |
Lakers pick (top 5 protected, currently 4th)
- Orlando won (bad): Orlando’s win over Chicago, with the Lakers loss, gives the Magic 5 more wins than the Lakers with 4 games to play and eliminates the possibility of the Lakers (or Sixers) passing Orlando in wins. This section will be removed from future draft pick trackers.
| Team | Midrange jump shots |
| Philadelphia | 26 |
| Opponents | 72 |
Heat pick (top 10 protected, currently 10th):
- Boston won (bad): Recap: Sixers need 2 of Charlotte (33-45), Indiana (35-43), Brooklyn (36-42), and Boston (36-42) to finish with a worse record than Miami (35-43). Charlotte seems like a pretty safe bet at this point, as they’re 2 games back with only 4 games left. Just need one more to falter. I don’t think it will be Boston, as Utah and Indiana have tougher schedules to end the season, but a loss would have given me some peace of mind. 3 of those teams finishing with a worse record than Miami wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, anyway, as it would keep Miami in the lottery. It’s 4 finishing with a worse record than Miami where the pick really starts to suffer.
- Brooklyn lost (good): Brooklyn lost, which keeps them 1 game up on Miami. They have a relatively easy schedule to end the season, so they’re not the one I’m counting on to finish with a worse record than Miami.
- Pacers won (bad): The Pacers win, their 3rd straight, has them in a tie with Miami for 10th/11th. The Pacers end the season with OKC, Washington, and Memphis, so hopefully that’s enough to allow Miami to pass them.
- Utah won (bad): Utah won, which keeps them a game ahead of Miami. Indy is the Sixers best chance to finish with a worse record than Miami, but Utah is probably the most likely second option.

| Opponent | 132 | 49.2% | 73.7% |
Oklahoma City Thunder pick (top 18 protected, currently 18th):
- Washington won (bad): The Wizards beat the Sixers. Good for the Sixers pick, bad for the OKC pick. Washington is 3 wins up on OKC with 4 games left to play.
- New Orleans lost (good): New Orleans lost, keeping them in a tie with OKC for the final playoff spot out West.

Tonight’s games:
- Chicago @ Miami: Big game for Miami. Could use a Miami win here, as they need to finish with a better record than Indy or Utah.
