There was very little suspense with the first pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, so those armchair GMs sitting at home had plenty of time to plan their congratulatory tweets to No. 1 overall pick and the newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers, Ben Simmons (see story).
Everybody was waiting for the loquacious Joel Embiid to chime in. It didn't take long but he kept it pretty lowkey:
Congrats to the Brodie and WELCOME TO PHILLY @BenSimmons25 #TrustTheProcess— Joel Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) June 23, 2016
Embiid seemingly reacted to Jaylen Brown going to Boston. Not sure what this means though:
Wow lol— Joel Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) June 23, 2016

And the last player to go No. 1 overall to the 76ers, none other than Allen Iverson sent his congrats to Simmons:
Congratulations @BenSimmons25. I know you'll make all of us Philly fans proud!!— Allen Iverson (@alleniverson) June 23, 2016
