    Default Joel Embiid/Nerleans Noel/Okafor

    Were they screwed over for playing for the Sixers?
    Which one do you think will benefit the most from being traded?

    Which one would you keep?

    The Sixers are fine. Embiid will be on a limit restriction this year. No trades, we play out the year and see what we have. Philly fans understand the process. Next year we make moves......have a nice day.............

    10, 9, 8, 76ers...........

    Step 1: Tank
    Step 2: Tank
    Step 3: Trade any players that hurt the tank by becoming too good
    Step 4: Tank

    No coincidence that the guy who says they will be fine is named tanks.

    The Pelicans should have kept Noel.

    76ers haven't been good enough to hate for a long time. It was just an observation.

    Agreed. Jrue has been a real disappointment.

    None of them were "screwed over". All of them fell and we drafted them BPA.

    Minutes, pretty much.

    You have Ben Simmons, a Power forward.
    Dario Saric, a power forward.
    Embiid, Center.
    Okafor- Center/PF
    Noels - Center/PF.

    It's clearly that the right situation can either contribute to a rookie's growth or be deterimental to it. Kawhi got the greatest situation possible, great coach, plenty of minutes. At first he focused on defense, learning things while the aging big 3 took care of offense.

    A bad situation would be Will cauly stein being drafted by the kings to play behind DMC, not getting enough minutes, the team being bad so his mistakes aren't forgiven and without proper mentorship. Deterimental to his growth imo.

    That's how they might have been screwed. (Question mark, not exclamation mark.)

    Simmons will definitely play SF. As he matures he'll slide into the point-forward spot.

    SF: Simmons/Covington/Grant
    PF: Noel/Saric/Brand
    C: Okafor/Embiid

    I assume we'll see some Simmons/Okafor/Embiid lineups as Embiid gets accustomed. Spacing might be an issue but since everything is a work in progress anyway I don't see why they wouldn't at least try it.
