    Default The Sixers look like they could be well set for the future..

    If you're them at the 3rd and 10th pick, who do you take to fit in with the team?

    I want Wiggins and Gary Harris with those two picks. Team would be set on the perimeter for the next decade.

    MCW
    Harris
    Wiggins
    ?
    Noel

    That is a team that has a rim protector, lockdown perimeter defender, a floor spacing SG, and a long playmaker at PG.

    I think Wiggins and Embiid will be taken 1 and 2, so they'd be left with Jabari, which is a good start. I guess with him and Noel, you have your two franchise players, and a very good young prospect at PG as well. At the same time, do MCW and Jabari mesh well?

    At 10, a number of decent prospects could still be on the board. Aaron Gordon is one of them. If he is there, take him. If not, it could be worth it to trade the pick for a 15-20 pick and get a decent wing around there. There are a lot of SG/SF hybrids who are a decent pick up like Zach Levine, Rodney Hood, Gary Harris, James Young, etc.
    I personally wouldn't go for Harris as he is on the smaller side...

    But yeah, great future if Noel pans out, and if they get one of Wiggins or Parker.

    I think MCW's size at PG kind of helps to negate Harris being a tad short for a SG. Plus Harris was a pretty solid rebounder at MSU last year so I would feel fine with him at SG. I'm probably irrationally optimistic right now but I think there is a really solid chance that MIL takes Parker.

    I do love Gordon as a prospect tho. I think he ends up being a Shawn Marion type of guy. I think he ends up getting taken before #10.

    I think Wiggins will fall to the Sixers..Cavs will take Embiid. Hawes' contract is almost done, and Verejao is always injured. The Bucks need a polished scorer, while Wiggins fits in well with the Sixers fast pace game.

    With the tenth pick, I don't know. Lots of names. Even Saric is a possibility. Exciting month ahead

    Much like the Cavs, the Sixers front office will find some way to screw things up and be a lottery pick for 3-4 more years. It is like teams draft players that do not fit the coach's philosophy, so the drafted player is lost in all of the confusion.

    Sixers have a new front office (who killed it in the draft last year) and a new coach who is a Pop guy. There is no reason to believe that they will be as inept as a franchise that just fired their coach and GM.

    Not this time. The Sixers FO is solid, and I'm not a homer.

    We will see come June 26. I still see 2-3 years of growing pains for the Sixers, depending on who the Sixers draft and what happens with center Noel.

    God they ended up raping the shit out of the Pelicans in that trade.

    Got Noel and the 10th pick in the draft for an overpaid Jrue Holiday. Unreal how stupid some of these franchises are.

    Honestly....

    The Pelicans have now done the following;

    1. Traded Chris Paul for Gordon/Aminu/Rivers
    2. Traded Noel/10th pick for Holiday
    3. Signed Gordon to a max deal
    4. Signed Evans to 12 million a year


    Does it get worse than that?

    exum and mcw would be scary to be honest.
    if both of them would pan out
    if not then its a no brainer to pick parker not unless they are high on randle
    I think at 10 pick just a toss up between Gordon, Stauskas, or harris,

    Exum is scary. No one knows too much about him, except maybe Brett Brown. What about Saric at 10?
