Best young "big 3"? 

Post#1 » by Clevelander » Thu Jan 12, 2017 1:59 am

Dlo, Ingram, Randle
Giannis, Parker, Middleton
Towns, Wiggins, Lavine
Simmons, Embiid, Okafor
Hayward, Favors, Gobert

Or some other that I may have missed?

I personally like the bucks potential the most. Could be a really solid team if everything pans out, which so far it is

I don't think the Wolves 3 will stay together. The Bucks 3 might not even be their best big 3 depending on how some things play it (Maker, Brogdon)

Don't think Okafor has a future with the Sixers.

But right now I'd say it's between the Bucks and the Sixers.

The thing about the sixers is that they don't fit well. You got a sf/pf then a bunch of centers.... they really need to cash in on some of those assets to spread the talent around

Bucks then Embiid/Simmons and the best of the two guards they pick with their 2017 own and Lakers pick.

Sixers Big3 right now is probably Embiid/Simmons/Noel.

Noel has been flashing a much better offensive game this year than in year's past including a decent looking mid-range jumper on top of his elite rim running. He's as great defensively as he's always been. The only issue is Brown refuses to play him with Embiid for now and he is a RFA at the end of the season. BC made his first (of many to follow I'm afraid) by not extending Embiid when OKC set the market with Adams' deal.

Amongst the groupings you listed I think the Bucks group is the best right now.

Yea you're right, I forgot to list them. For some reason I thought Wall and Beal were older than they actually are.

My eyebrow was raised at even the inclusion of Favors in a "young" big 3, and then I looked to see he's only 25. Am I the only one who thinks that sounds impossible? Wtf? It feels like he should be older. And yea, I know he was young when he entered the league, lots of guys were, but I rarely get this surprised by an age. It feels like he's been around a lot longer. I dunno.
