i understand that there are about 6 players who are very similar in talent level that all play the 4 or 5 spots. so this pick can go in a number of different ways.

while most of the fans WANT speights, there is also a common belief that behind all of the koufos praising (smoke screen?) the team will go for jordan.

though i know it's a crap shoot, and will probably be an easier guess tomorrow, i have to move on if i'm going to finish the first round before the actual draft starts.

so, im putting you down for jordan because he is the most common name in this thread.

I want Speights, but I can't see us passing on a top 10 talent like Jordan.

Since no one is sure which of the 2 (Koufos, Jordan or Speights) is the Sixers top target, putting down Jordan is as good as anyone.

Intersting project- I guess we'll see how close it is to the draft.

Last year this board (the fans) wanted Thad Young, but before the draft would have said the Sixers were leaning in a different direction.

Speights.

But trading down and including Silly Green may be an attractive alternative.

(#16 +Green+cash to Wash for #18?)

Alexis Ajinca!

We trade willie green and #16 to Memphis for #28, Kyle Lowry, and a 2nd in 09'...trade the 2nd in 09' to Denver plus 28 for number 20 and pick him.....

i honestly think that arthur is the guy their after which is why they are letting people think they like speights and koufos. if arthur is off the board i think they'll take speights though. arthur is said to be back on the rise on draft boards after slipping a little earlier.
