Via SBNation.com, a page on the Philadelphia 76ers’ official website strongly suggests that the 76ers have decided to draft Evan Turner with the second overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. The page shows a photo illustration of Turner’s name next to the Sixers’ logo on the big draft board, just below the Washington Wizards’ selection of John Wall. The text below reads, “Lower Level Season Tickets Start At $999.” Importantly, changing Turner’s name in the site’s URL to a different draft prospect’s, such as DeMarcus Cousins or Derrick Favors, yields only a “page not found” error.
This is either the best smokescreen of all-time, or the worst draft-pick secrecy of all-time.
