Knew there was no shot Bona was making it to 54, but I was hoping....

Celtics should have traded up, now just have to take best player available even if it’s a wing

Serious question: Isn't Springer better than Bronny? Just wondering...

Like the fit for Bona on the sixers.

He can be a decent backup for Embiid.

And think that could maybe even play them together..1 of them can shoot (Embiid) and on defense, 1 of them can switch defensively pretty well (Bona) while they can both protect the rim..and Bona has decent mobility/quickness..

Good pick for Philly
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Oof just realized that was our pick that we traded for Springer. That stings. Bona is gonna be around for a long time

Yes, probably. If you are any player in the second round not named Bronny James, you're getting a bit of a raw deal this year.

Đurišić was probably the most impressive player at the combine. I am surprised he lasted this long. The last player I can remember who was as good at the combine was Kuzma.

Draft Bronny and then cut him the day before summer league. Just as a middle finger to LeBron

Or draft him and keep him in Maine for the next few years. That would be funny too.

He's turning into a nice buy low/sell high pick the longer this goes on. I'm interested at 54 for sure, depending on who's left.

I know Brad would never do it, but it'd be hilarious if we drafted Bronny

Yes totally agree. Just for the memes. It's the right thing to do
