Lets get this going.

Will post each pick here and do them as separate topics per pick, so we can all go back and point out how dumb we were in hindsight.

Bold call taking him over Vonleh. You must think he can be Omer Asik with a post game. That would compliment Noel.

#7 was Smart.

Btw, feel free to use this topic to say everyone was wrong so far, and debate the order of past picks if you want.

Just make sure if you are making the case for a current pick to do it in that thread =)

I love Nurkic

- Wide frame
- Strong
- Excellent mobility and quick feet for a man his size
- great rolling to the basket after setting screens (the NBA is a pick and roll league afterall)
- great at establishing deep position in the post

I see a more mobile version of Pekovic. If he was a better athlete and played above the rim, he'd probably be in the discussion for top 3 pick in the draft.

If we pick wiggins, Exum or even Parker with our first pick, I love Nurkic at #10 to play with Noel!

Gordon runs away with #8

14/15/16 voting for Saric/Harris/Young

Hoping that somehow one of the top 8 inexplicably slips to the Sixers second pick.

Wiggins + MCW is a beast defensive duo. don't really see Parker or Embiid fitting though.

Why not? Embiid specifically.
