All of this is for not though. We'll have the #1 pick and be deciding between Wiggins and Embiid.


I want your faith. :lol:

It is the Philadelphia 76ers...our...destiny to have the #1 pick in the 2014 NBA draft. We're going to win the lottery because the basketball gods love us and will care for us.

BELIEVE IN THE TANK!!!!!!


Oh, I believe in the tank. I do believe they are getting a top 3 pick, just shaky on whether it's 1 and Wiggins like they really need. I also like the fact you quoted yourself and put it in your sig. :lol:

Just put my vote in for Parker...just for seeing him play more, i'm more convinced that he'll be more of a proven commodity than Exum (at least in the short run).

Vonleh, by a nose over Parker. Have more faith that Vonleh will be able to play any style (Low post, high post or stretch).

Best player in the draft slipped to #3. You take him this instantly.

GTFO.

Oh well, when Vonleh craps out, you'll be able to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about. Seems like a great deterrent for having a different opinion.

3 is tough spot.

LOVE Vonleh and would take him but its about value. Could drop down 2 or 3 spots, pick up an extra piece to our puzzle.

If we stay at 3, which we would, it would be between Parker and Exum. I am half tempted to go with Exum and I don't know why cause Ive never seen him play. But everything Ive read say he's got a quick first step, length, can play point but final position will be a 2. I don't know if Exum's stroke is broken or just needs to be tweaked.

Probably better defensively than Parker, but Parker is better offensively.

Ill go Exum but I won't be mad if its Parker

Honestly any of the top 4 are equal in my eyes, and what's special about this draft isn't the #1, but the depth of the draft. I don't get people here saying "TOP TWO OR BUST" as that kind of defeats the point of tanking this specific year.

Our odds are maximized to the 90th percentile of getting a top 4 pick. Mission. Effing. Accomplished.

Difficult but I have to go Parker on this one

I went Parker. His defense is a major concern though. Just haven't seen enough of Exum.

U guys are crazy if you don't choose Jabari. He'd be a near perfect fit with his high basketball IQ (what we don't have alot on this team) and advanced offensive game. He's also a lights out shooter (what we don't have on this team)


Exum may very well turn out good but with MCW and Wroten at the guard spots I don't really want any more ball dominant guards on the team. We need shooters. And for the guys saying we take Exum and trade MCW, you're crazy. Trading Jrue for Noel and getting MCW was a great move in hindsight but it was also very risky. It could of really backfired on us and I'm not into testing fate like that again.


Jabari is clearly the better pick. He would be number 1 if not for the concerns about his defensive skills and athletic ability.

Went with Jabari. Can't see how anyone could go with Exum at this point. I bet 99% of the people on this board have never seen him play. So how can you say he's worth the #3 pick. We already have our PG of the future in MCW. Time to build around him.

He is not a lights out shooter

He is a player that can score from anywhere on the court with his advanced offensive skills but he's not a lights out shooter...

Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker should have been #1/2 and Embiid/Dante Exum should have been the #3 Pick discussion....
