If Jabari is a 76er next year he'll average close to 20ppg. He's going to get his shots. Does that mean he's better than Embiid when he averages 11 with Cleveland or Wiggins who averages 15 with the Bucks? Not really.

The way we push the ball and try to get as many possessions as possible I could see Wiggins scoring in the high teens next year as well. No doubt in my mind.


Evan Turner put up some points with the Sixers as well, when he went to team with NBA talent he was relegated to the bench. It's not unusual to score more in the pros considering how many more possesions the NBA has vs college.

If MCW can put up 14 a night efficiently that's fine because the scoring load was taken off of his shoulders and put on the rest of our team.

I did have Turner in my post because he did average 17ppg as a Sixer, but I deleted it for whatever reason.

I had a dream about the draft last night. The Cavs took about an hour to make their pick, but selected Embiid. The Bucks took about an hour to pick, and they took Wiggins. The Sixers also took forever to make their selection & went with.....Noah Vonleh.

If the 76ers truly value Vonleh, they would be in a very good position to hijack Utah out of their 1st born sons for Jabari Parker.

I can honestly see Hinkie really liking Vonleh. I really think Hinkie is gonna find a way to trade up and grab either Vonleh, Randle or Smart. I like Thad, but I think he's gonna be involved in a deal to trade up.

No way I think Parker scores 22-24 a game in his rookie year, I think that's the type of numbers he will eventually put up once he closes in on entering his prime.


Oh, I was talking about their rookie year. If your talking a fully developed Parker and Wiggins I can see low 20'sppg. I think Parker is going to have a tough time cause of his lack of athletic ability (although a 20 to 23 ppg is pretty good), and Wiggins I see as a 19 to 22 ppg scorer, fully developed

I love Smart and Randle. To be honest, I haven't seen too much of Vonleh, live or on tape, so Im undecided there. But from everything I've heard and read, there is apparently a lot of potential there. As far as Randle and Smart, I don't care what the measurements say, BOTH these guys play hard, and are in constant attack mode... I'll take either one

Smart doesn't fit the mold...luckily it appears he'll be gone before the second first-round pick. I do not like...

I hope the 76ers get lucky and Marcus Smart falls to them at #10. One of my 3 or 4 favorite players in this draft.

If we take Vonleh over anyone of the big 4, I think I would be so mad that I would enter a state of pure nothingness and simply accept that this franchise will be garbage or mediocre for the rest of time.

Agreed. I think we can get Parker at 3 and Smart at 10, we can lock down our 1-3 positions for the next 10 years.

If thats the plan you need to move MCW and try to fill either the 2 or 4 positions.

2nd round wise, I think my first official man crush is going to be Spencer Dinwiddie. Great ball handler, good shooter, can play off the ball if needed, gets to the line a ton, and an efficient player. if not for his ACL, he's a 1st round player. Meh athlete and so-so defense, but as a guy with the 32nd or 39th pick, YES PLEASE.

In the wee hours of the night, we continue to have prescient analysis and instant color commentary on our Board. We have the best 47 fans in the NBA!
“This may be one of the best jobs in basketball right now,” Colangelo said at a press conference introducing him as the new GM of the 76ers after Sam Hinkie resigned.
