Aldridge sounds like hes going to SA, but LA is in the mix.
Dumb for Love to leave the Cavs.
Not sure they're in on Jordan.

Trey Lyles- Utah
Kelly Oubre- Wash
Rashad Vaugh- Mil
Tyus Jones- Min (could be better than Rubio down the road)

other bad picks:
Terry Rozier-Bos
Chris McCullough- Brooklyn
Then there is Philly taking 2 more centers....lolz and Atlanta taking on Hardaway

Unless a miracle happens, Hinkie is toast......the 6ers are a complete mess with no end in sight.

The Knicks don't have Noel and Emiid.

i'm fine with them taking their BPA over drafting for need. take your BPA and figure out the rest later. drafting strictly for need is silly for a team that isn't going to compete soon.

76ers have a glaring need at PG/SG .....blowing 3 straight top 3 picks on Centers is pretty dumb. Not sure how anyone can look at what Hinkie has done to this point and say it's working

we won't know if it's working for a while. getting out of purgatory from scratch takes a while. i think noel, okafor, and embiid are all very valuable. embiid still has enormous potential. why take mudiay at 3 if you're not in love with him? they would've taken russell if he were there, he matched need and their board. there's no way you pass on okafor there to take a PG you don't love. it hasn't been ideal, mostly because of the way their picks have fallen, but they are in no position to pass on okafor for a less talented need. they don't need a good/great PG next year.
i really hope we get to watch porzingis try and guard okafor down low this year.

they have three, and one will play the 4 (and Embiid is still not a sure thing).
they drafted a guy in the 2nd who won't be over this year.
and all these bigs are super talented.

Kris is a 19 year old Euro who's a stretch 4, why he would be guarding Okafor is beyond me.....what's also beyond me is what he has to do with Philly but do you, champ.
The 3 years prior to Hinkie taking over they had a 49% winning percentage....the 2 years since he has taken over it's at 25%. Yes he's broken it down but all he has to show for it is 25% wins and 3 centers. Good luck with that.
The only way it works is to spin two of the 3 centers for talented young players at G/F. You have a talented center that has actually played that is good defensively and poor on offense. A center that hasn't played at all. And a center is that an very good low post scorer. Good luck making that work out for the future.
If anything the Euro trash made better sense for the Sixers. Higher upside that Okafor (since they aren't competing anytime soon) They could theoretically pair the stretch 4 with Noel or Embid and still reached their goal of sucking for the next few years.

I like Okafor playing along side one of the others, but it is pretty obvious either Noel or Embiid get traded and likely soon.
You can't risk hurting their growth by not giving them minutes and there is just no way you can play all three at the same time obviously.
I liked Porzingas and Mudiay more than Okafor and I have been consistent about my lack of interest in Okafor since January. I think he will be solid, but the guy is going to give you zero on the defensive side and isn't considered a good defensive rebounder either.

uh, yeah, i'd rather 25% and draft high and get hugely talented assets vs 49%, drafting in the teens, and being stuck in purgatory forever. clearly the knicks know about tanking - they just did it.
i'd like to see porzingis guard any big man. little guy is going to get straight bullied.

LA, NYK, Denver, Miami, Minnesota, Houston, and Washington had my favorite drafts. I didn't like PHI, Sac, and Atlanta.
As for my Jazz, it was simply a depth draft. We needed a third/fourth big and Lyles as some stretchiness to him. At the very least he handles the ball extremely well and passes well for a 6'10" so you can do some Diaw esque things with him. The key to him is shooting at least 33% from three eventually. I also liked the Canadian we drafted in the second round. Seems like more writing on the wall that the Trey Burke era is ovuh.

Knicks future > 76ers
You drafted Emiid who is never going to play and Kris has higher upside than Okafor and Noel. Plus you don't have Meloooooooooooooo
Good luck

Funny you keep making fun of Porzingas' defense when Okafor is a moving turnstile. I'm pretty excited to see him get abused again and again and again on the PnR.
