Marcus Smart or Joel Embiid? (for Orlando)

[Jameerthefear]

Since Joel will likely fall out of the top 3 and since the shit tier Cleveland Cavaliers got the 1st pick I would say this is their option. Probably in the toughest spot in the draft tbh.
I also think that mayyyybeee if Embiid is still there after like #7 we could trade #12 + AA and move up so we can get Smart + Embiid.

F*ck this draft.

Joel Embiid, next.

[CavaliersFTW]

Orlando drafting another big? Haven't they learned their lesson yet?

Didn't your team draft Anthony Bennet at #1 last season?

[BlackVVaves]

I still think Orlando gets Exum. But, if Embiid truly does slip as much as draft analysts are projecting, then I agree the #4 is probably the worst place to be in terms of player selection.

IMO, if you have a top 5 pick in this draft, striking out on a prospect will haunt a franchise for years to come. More so than most drafts due to the talent at the top.

Gonna be an interesting week.

Why do you want smart? Do you want the shortest backcourt in the league?

How do they get Exum?

[JUDGE WITNESS]

its so nice having a satellite team with a higher pick than u. draft embiid

[KobesFinger]

No way the Lakers don't draft Embiid if he falls to us, if you don't select him you won't get him. I think Orlando drafts Vonleh.

Yeah. I'm sure the Rockets are glad that the Lakers got such a high pick this year.

If the Bucks say **** it, we're swinging for the fences, and still select Embiid.

It seems, though, that with the revelation of Embiid's injury and Philly being hellbent on drafting Wiggins, that they will likely trade up into the #1 or #2 spot. And if that happens, I'm fairly certain the Bucks will pass on Embiid, and draft Exum instead (if the trade is with Milkwaukee and not Cleveland).
