Hell yeah!
Btw, interview regarding the pick with Brett Brown and Colangelo:
http://www.draftexpress.com/article/...nd-Videos-5487
A couple of comments I found particularly interesting:
Bryan Colangelo, Philadelphia 76ers
Q: Where are you at in the process of evaluating what the best course of action is for your team?
Colangelo: We've had a chance to already meet with Brandon Ingram and Kris Dunn among the top candidates. There are several others, Jamal Murray, Buddy Hield and several others that we've met with. Ben Simmons did not attend Chicago, so we did not have chance for that to occur. I do plan a trip to Cleveland soon, and a couple of these guys will obviously be coming into Philadelphia for visits in our home gym. A lot of work to do over the next 40 days or so. There's a lot to do and we have our sleeves rolled up.
(...)
Q: Are you committed to keeping that number one pick or are you open to trading it?
Colangelo: It's pretty obvious that the answer is yes [to keeping it]. A lot of people jumped on the notion that we talked about looking at all alternatives as open to moving the pick. I think, again, you have to look at every single option and everything in front of you. But, the bottom line is, now that we're sitting in the number one position, it changes the dynamic. I think it was more in reference to, what would happen if we ended up with two top five picks, if there was maybe, perhaps, a decision to move one of those. It's highly unlikely that anything is done with the number one pick except selecting the player.

Long Live The Process
Re: 20 Year Anniversary: Sixers Pick Allen Iverson
Most we have to celebrate for a long time.
Still get that pick from the Lakers up the sleeve for the future.
Foolish Laker fans acting like they won the championship, but it is really our night.

Screw Simmons, Ingram seemed more ideal to me.

You may be right. Found this:
Simmons was born and raised in Australia, where 76ers director of performance research and development David T. Martin was an iconic sports-science leader until leaving the Australian Institute of Sport for Philadelphia in 2015.
Brett Brown also coached Simmons’ father, Dave, with the Melbourne Tigers.
Had no idea about Martin nor Brown's connection to Ben's father. Those things end up counting.
