OperationWTF - Day 2

Aminu’s a physical stud who I could see rising to top 5 after workouts.

The wiz are one of those teams that really should think about trading their pick if it’s not 1/2 because they are just full of juvenile immature talent with no one guiding them, including the coach

i think aminu and ed davis swapped

No ones perfect :)

Sixers never end up 2 or 3? Or they take turner when they do?

Seriously. Favors is probably my favorite prospect. I wouldn’t take him number 1 obviously, but I’d strongly consider him at 2. Taking Cousins over him would be terrible IMo.

Not really – unless it somehow sheds the sixers of Brands contract…this team is young and full of holes – moving down doesn’t help plug them…

I think Thad’s a bench player at this point. He doesn’t rebound enough to play the four. He doesn’t score enough/shoot well enough to play the three and get away with his bad defense. It’d be ideal for him to come off the bench, provide occasional scoring and energy IMO.

I suppose you could move from 6/7 if Wesley is gone down to 10/11 to grab Whiteside or Udoh, depending on what they’d get in return.

And if poeple are locked in to Aminu or Johnson at the 6 spot, where does that leave Thad Young?

WEll you still need bench players and you can’t project anything so saying (yet again) that you have to decide what to do with Thaddeus Young based on who yo udraft before you even see the team work is silly.

It leaves Thad Young exactly where he is now, coming off a truly crappy season needing to improve almost every aspect of his game

The sixers have massive holes – and you don’t draft by need when you have massive holes.

The sixers only have two players long term who are starters on contending teams (Jrue and Iguodala) and their bench is a mishmash of guys who score and do little else.

Drafting by need when you are that much of a mess is bad strategy – draft the best player available – only worry about need if there is a tie.

Do you pass on John Wall cause you have Jrue Holiday?

The sixers only have two players long term who are starters on contending teams (Jrue and Iguodala) and their bench is a mishmash of guys who score and do little else.

Dalemberts contract expires next year and there’s no guarantee that the sixers re-sign him or that he wants to stay.

Most people believe John Wall is the first pick – it’s a no brainer – the only teams that should consider anyone else are teams with established top point guards.

So Utah and New Orleans

The sixers are a mess, John wall is the consensus #1 pick unless you already got an all star point guard

Take the best player available…the sixers aren’t good enough or close enough to hedge on need unless it’s two equally graded players

If the Sixers get Wall, I’d go with the Jrue/Wall backcourt until it is absolutely proven they can’t work. Wall could be Wadesque as an athletic scoring playmaker.
