upside is the key, in a couple of years an excellent player

/hopefully he gets more playing time then Willie Green this year. The reason why I am saying that is because I have read in the past that Eddie Jordan supposedly has a thing against playing rookies.

Not sure why they’d get both so close to each other. I think one of them will have success, but I can’t see both of them making this team. This is why I thought they’d go with some international players with their middle picks because they don’t have enough spots on the team currently.

He seems way too similar to Daequan Cook
Not sure why they wouldn’t go big there, but good value with Thornton.

mcneal is still available

I know
But his skill set is very similar to Holiday. So most likely we won’t touch him. But he’d be very successful on EJ’s offense and I would love him forever. Can’t wait to see where he ends up. Love me some Jerel.

Still a nice night just getting another ‘steal’ in the first round hopefully – no second round pick disappinting – but second round picks don’t pan out as often as people want to think they do – it’s just easier to remember those that did pan out versus those that didn’t.
Was going to be a very long important free agency for the sixers and still is going to be. The 2nd round pick wasn’t going to guarantee anything – just gravy on top of Holiday.
Now
Get rid of Sam, and willie, but find a guy to start in the middle who isn’t brand (gortat)
Strengthen the bench
and find a place holder point guard for a couple years who doesn’t entirely suck

Miller resigned – that’s awesome now I don’t have to worry about the sixers re-signing him

I guess we see in the future how well this pick was, maybe he will be a nice fit into the Princeton system

I know I'm boning over Dionte, but if he goes undrafted I'd imagine Philly would be his first choice no?
I’ll be sick if he goes to Boston

Mcclinton is another guy I liked. but I am saying that as I sit in my dads house in Miami
by jmorcate on Jun 25, 2009 8:37 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I know it's mostly senior college guys with limited upside left
But if they have a specified talent (i.e. Dionte Christmas and Tyrese Rice – shooting or Garrett Siler – rebounding), they could have value at the professional level. I feel like a lot of these second round picks could make some noise. I’d rather have a draft pick for cheap than sign an overvalued NBA veteran to a bigger deal (Jamaal Magloire, Stromile Swift to name a few).
Still hoping somehow we make a move.

It's funny that Patty Mills could end up being the best point guard in this draft
He’s got a ton of potential. Way too late for him to go.

Christmas
is ranked the 6th best available
will he get drafted?

Hopefully not
Free agency to us!

I cant decide if i want him to be or not
by jmorcate on Jun 25, 2009 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not.
Hope he signs with us for the summer league. Maybe we pick up Stefon Jackson also. This is really surprising that Dionte isn’t taken yet

yeah obviously thats the reason for the not, but Im an athletic training student at Temple so ive met him a few times and I really just want him to succeed. Its just shame if he doesnt get drafted.

sixers draft grade- C- right now but if this holiday fellow does indeed perform for us that grade can easily be moved up into the B range, maybe in fact A range.

In the NBA draft, you can get an A if you get one player that it turns out can really play. Especially if you aren’t in the top 3-5 picks.

Have mixed feelings overall
Wanted Maynor – NO
Wanted a 2nd pick – NO
Wanted more than just the “one pick” action – NO
BUT, Christmas is available, and he would make everything better.
I didn’t like the Holiday pick at first, but by the morning, I’ll be okay with it.
by chillicothe20 on Jun 25, 2009 9:14 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I wonder what the pick says about Miller?
If they resign Miller, drafting a player with big upside that needs time to learn makes sense. If he walks… then it becomes a little more hard to figure.
by JasonB on Jun 25, 2009 9:16 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I don’t think this affect’s Miller at all, his top two choices are us and Portland and if he gets butt hurt over this we do a sign and trade with Portland since they won’t be able to afford him with their current cap. I think he should be happy we got Jrue so he won’t be as tired at the end of the season when we need him.

So some reports compare him to Russel Westbrook.
Also he apparently shut down Maynor when the two went head to head.
