Would be a pretty interesting second round option. 6'7 with the biggest hand width of guards, wings. Shoots good splits. 6'10 wingspan.

Harper the franchise game changer. Ace is a continence of building a post embiid nucleus and a nice fit and add to the core.

LOL. I agree with Governor Shapiro. Teams should never take someone who doesn't want to be there, just like I proved with the examples of Steph, Kobe, and Porzingus!

More like he'd be the incontinence of this team.

If we take VJ, the number of people rooting for his failure is gonna make this place unbearable.

You'd think everyone would learn after all these other top 3 picks we've had.

Most people, myself included that do not want (more like do not prefer) VJ, are going to eventually talk themselves into whoever is taken. The non-trolls are not going to just leave because player X didn't get drafted by the Sixers. I want Tre then Bailey (used to be Bailey then Tre) but just like Mik said earlier, whoever it is I am going to be the biggest fan boi and be like damn, we got the best! They do bad and I am like just wait until a full off season and it will be totally different. They do great and I am like awesome I was wrong, and we it worked out the best for the team.

The OG Ace Bailey. 5th ranked HS prospect Quincy Miller.


And I have to admit I loved Quincy Miller :lol:

Thinking back on prospects over the years I liked. Really humbling. Josh Jackson is another prospect I thought would be legit. :crazy:

This settles it, draft BAILEY. Shapiro is known to have terrible instincts

Hoping the pick is Ace. I can’t do another guard who can’t shoot.

Going to overhype whoever we take

First VJ dunk? Next Jordan

First Ace tough jumper? Next TMac

First Tre 3? New Ray Allen just dropped

68% FT, 35% 3FG

Fultz: 65% FT, 41% 3FG
Zhaire: 72% FT, 45% 3FG (low vol)
Springer: 81% FT, 44% 3FG (low vol)
Thybulle: 85% FT (low vol), 31% 3FG


Maxey: 83% FT, 29% 3FG
McCain: 89% FT, 41% 3FG

Which grouping does Ace more fall under?

And if we all take the pledge, none of this pre-draft posturing will matter. We can just goof around and hate the team together again.

Neubeck said the information he's getting is the Sixers won't take Tre at 3. But he could be a trade down guy. If they stay at 3 it's Harper if he falls, VJ, or Ace. He said Kon could be a darkhorse for 3, but on the outside looking in.

Based on that it seems the Sixers board excluding Flagg is something like

1) Harper
2) VJ/Ace
3) Ace/VJ
4) Kon
5) Tre
