I really like his game. I think he will be better than Vucevic

I’ll say it now while he’s still on the board. I really don’t like Benson. I think he’s too skinny to ever adequately defend the 5 and he doesn’t look like he has the frame to put on the weight.

Honestly all I hear from you guys is a lot of complaining
and no real “what-they-could’ve-dones”. The only potential pick at 16 that would’ve gotten most of us excited was Biyombo. Vucevic is just one of the many mediocre choices they could’ve made.
I honestly don't think Faried carves out enough minutes here
And I really think they need more offense in the frontcourt. Plus Faried has said he doesn’t want to play in the Tri-State area.
I’d be fine with Singleton, but I’m not losing my mind we didn’t get him. He’s not significantly better than Vucevic.

Petteri Koponen? He’s still around?

Yes. Then the Sixers traded his draft rights to Portland for a pick that they used on Derrick Byars.

I was kinda mad that Byars didn't turn out to be a player
I knew him back when he was at Virginia. Really good dude.

If Trey Thompkins is there at 50 I think he is the pick because Witte seemed to love him when we worked him out and he’s my prospect

Even with Vucevic picked I like Jeremy Tylers potential for a 2nd rounder if he slips. Also would like to get parsons but I doubt he slips to 50.
Didn’t even slip to 39.

Some interesting names still left. I sure hope the Sixers don’t pass on all of them.

If the local dog-catcher falls to us we should look to trade Lou :)
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, there will be no trade for Monta!
He’s not that much of a project. He’ll surprise people. Bad situation + injury artificially deflated stock.

He can shoot really well. Slow first step. Poor lateral quickness and strength. He’s very much a one-trick pony.

I think Vucevic will. He’s just a career backup IMO, but I’m forcing myself to warm on him.

I don’t think the center position in the NBA is deep enough for Vucevic to not have a job somewhere.

Let's hold out!
The Sixers may still trade Iggy to the Kings for the #60 pick.

I just dropped by to make sure I wasn’t the only one that was completely stunned
They call me The Professor.
Given this team’s history, why would you be stunned? This was always the most likely outcome.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Pick!
You can focus on team need in the draft; if someone at another position is far superior than the guy at a position you need, then you got to take the superior player. Singleton is an athlete who will be able to soften the loss of Iggy. The only way this pick makes since is if you keep Iggy. If we trade Iggy, we have no lock down athletic defender. I am not saying this guy would step in and be Iggy, but he has a lot of tools that you can not teach. He can gaurd twos or threes and lock them down. This is a big need in a division loaded with talent at those positions. I like Turner, but he is too small to gaurd legit 3’s like Melo or Pierce.
