#1 was Wiggins
#2 was Embiid
#3 was Parker.
#4 was Exum
#5 was Randle
#6 was Vonleh
#7 was Smart
#8 was Gordon
#9/#10/#11 was Young/Harris/Saric threeway tie
#12 was Stauskas
#13 was Nurkic
#14 was McDermott
On to #15

Again, this is the player you most wish the Sixers would pick of the remaining players, not who you think will go 15th in some mock draft.

Poll choices being filled out by Dx mock draft, but if you want another choice upcoming just make some noise about it (Zach Lavine and PJ Hairston added for this reason).

I voted KJ Mcdaniels.

Dude is a fantastic athlete, and has good size and defensive skills on the perimeter. He shots OK, but he's excellent in transition and rebounds well for a perimeter player.

I think in on a fast paced team, with a little polish too his perimeter jumper... he could become a pretty solid 2-way wing who can defend,hit shots and finish in transition....similar to a Wes Matthews (KJ is a much more explosive athlete)

Ennis is the best player left here. Even though the Sixers don't need a PG.

This is a tough one. I voted with the line of thinking the Sixers already landed Wiggins and Stauskas (who I'd take at 1 and 9), and that we traded up to get the 15th pick. Decided to go BPA so I went with Tyler Ennis.

But say that we traded down from the #9 pick, I'd go with Hood. But I suppose that's not here nor there.

^Agreed with above. Feel like Ennis is a tier above every other prospect at this point. Even though we have a PG already you can't pass on him.

I voted K.J. McDaniels pretty easily. I know his offense is better than I'm giving him credit for, but I see him as a niche lockdown defender along the lines of Tony Allen. I see him as a 14 PER guy capable of making life difficult for wing scorers across the league.

Ennis the BPA. This team is so devoid of talent you can't start passing on the best player on the board at 15. One year into your rebuild.

At 15, the BPA is very subjective. You have a young building block at the PG position that plays 33-36 minutes a night. It's not like Ennis is a combo guard with the ability to slide to the 2. What's the point in taking a pure point when you only have 12-14 minutes available for him to play each night? It's just poor team construction.

You should draft the best player available that you have a reasonable enough amount of minutes to allocate for development. Otherwise, it's pointless.

Now if we're talking top 5 pick, you draft BPA regardless of your current team construction.

Kyle Anderson. Then Ennis. Then Payne.

I'm a little surprised Rodney Hood hasn't received more support. It would seem if a 3 point specialist like McDermott has been getting votes since pick 9, then once he is off the board the next 3 point specialist would start picking up those votes.

I'd say McDermott is more versatile scoring the ball than hood

Against college defenders I would agree. Against NBA length and quickness, I don't think so. And Hood has a better handle, so he will have more ability to create space to get his shot off. McDermott will be a spot-up 3 point shooter in the pros, unless he gets into a program that runs constant double screens to get him open.

Feel like if an NBA team ever has to rely on Rodney Hood to create offense then they have much more serious problems.

I didn't say Rodney Hood could create his own offense. I said he could create space to get his shot off. Hood will need nearly as much help to score as McDermott. I wouldn't pick eiter one of them in the lottery.

Capella. Big. Raw. Intriguing. Definitely have him above Ennis on my 'want' list.

At this point in a draft, Id start looking for specialists. By now, everyone who is left has significant flaws in their games one way or another. So Id go for a player who has a NBA fundamental skill that he could become elite at. Whether that be a rebounder, a shooter, a defender, a shot blocker. Whatever it is, Id go for guys who could stick in the league as specialists.

SO I voted for Rodney Hood, because I think he will have a decent NBA career for his ability to stroke it from deep. Elite shooters will always have a place in the NBA, as Troy Daniels showed us in the playoffs for the Rockets. And Hood can be an elite shooter. With his size(hes a legit 6'8.5") and high release, he should have no trouble rising up and draining it over any wing defenders. If he could be respectable as a wing defender, he'd fit in nicely for the Sixers between MCW and Wiggins, as by far the longest and maybe most athletic 1,2, and 3 in the league. The Sixers BADLY need shooting so getting back into the first to grab one of the best shooters in the draft would be a steal in my opinion.

Agreed. Capela turns 20 on 5/18. I wouldn't be surprised if Hinkie has this guy in his top 10. Hinkie says the rebuild will take a long time. Capela has enormous upside which, if achieved, could make him a "steal" in the middle of the first round.

Stauskas is the only "shooter" I'd take over Cappella and I haven't voted for him yet in this poll but I think when I make up my own little draft board, I'm going to have him in the 12 - 15 range. I have Nurkic over Capela only because he is younger, more physical and has a post game.

Everyone's votes are everywhere. I hate to draw an arbitrary line, but will final four this tonight.

Was kinda hoping to do 1 a day and hit 20 at lotto night.

Adrien Payne measured in at the NBA combine with a 7'4 wingspan and a 9'1 standing reach. Combine that with 43% 3pt shooting from a 6'10 PF, I can't see 14 players in this draft that will be better pros than Payne.
