I don't remember second round picks moved before the draft starts.

You can take the approach of targeting useful skillsets that may lend to a guy being playable on the playoffs. However, seasoning and experience are such a huge factors into determining the playability of guys like that. Which is why I don't like that approach.

Sign a 1 year vet for role player postseason playability. Draft multilevel scorers. That's always the best aporoach, to me.

Golden St is just securing Alen "Smiley" Smailagic

We traded 39 to the Lakers the night before last year. Got cash and what became 34 this year.

Sure? I thought we sold the pick during the when the draft was running...but I could be wrong of course

Atlanta is gonna be a problem in the East in a couple years. Sixers better make good decisions.

Garland and White should go #3 and #4. Let's see what team in the back half of the top 10 capitalizes on the mistakes of teams in front of them.

Yep definitely the night before. We also traded 38 during the draft for future picks so that may be what you are thinking of.

Golden state just traded to get one spot ahead of us in the 2nd round (#41). They need fives. More than one if you ask me. Hope they don't take "our" guys.

NBATV Mock Draft let Romeo Langford slip to #25. I would jump all over that at #24 regardless of need. Claxton, Thybulle and Gafford still on the board. I wish they represented the rest of the league. And the funniest part is that Billy King is one of the fake gms, which everyone is going to laugh at becaue of the BOS/BKN trade, but without realizing he hit on a fairly extraordinary number of first round and second round picks during his time with the sixers: willie green, kyle korver, lou williams, sam dalembert, nazr mohammed, todd maccollough, speedy claxton; not to mention andre igoudala and thaddeus young still in the league.

If Langford's hand injury prevented him from being able to shoot, he could be a major boom pick. If he just can't shoot, I think he's another undesirable like Barrett, Culver and Okpala.

Culver maybe, but he's more coordinated than Barrett and Okpala isn't on the same Planet as the others.

If we don't leave this draft with one of:

- NAW
- Terence Davis
- Jarrell Brantley
- Dedric Lawson
- Quinndary Weatherspoon

I'll be pretty annoyed.

I'll be fine leaving with one of:

- Nic Claxton
- DaQuan Jeffries
- Louis King
- Mfiondu Kabengele
- Jaylen Nowell
- Jordan Poole

Garland, yes. White... I don't see it. Isn't a PG. Will be a liability against SGs. A good 3rd guard, IMO.

No-Man · Post #235 » by **No-Man** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:25 pm

White is going to be a really good combination Guard for years, is that worth a top5 pick? I don't think so, but he is solid, really high floor, just unsipiring ceiling

Sixerfever216 · Post #236 » by **Sixerfever216** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:28 pm

I think White will have a very nice career a big PG with solid handle super quick and can shoot. He has to work on how to run a team

Langford's shooting stats weren't that bad for a 19 year old freshman. I'd be all over him if he somehow dropped to us at #24. Would even consider packaging picks to move up for him. Looks to have all the physical tools, just needs to work on his shooting.

White is the clearest sign no one has any idea what’s going on with the top of this draft.

Mik317 · Post #239 » by **Mik317** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:42 pm

I hope guys like Langford, Little and to an extent Porter are all gone by our pick. Those are the type of upside guys I know we will pass on only for them to fall to the Spurs and then blossom lol.

Arsenal · Post #240 » by **Arsenal** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 3:57 pm

My realistic hope is that Nickeil Alexander-Walker is available for us at #24. Could be the long term SG for us after Redick is gone, and can play a bench role in the meantime.
