Carry on

I am mentally trying to will us into the #1 pick, but I would be happy with any of 1-3!

We will have 10 hours and 30 minutes to know the fate of Markelle Fultz, who I am a fan of. Let's carry the hell on

If we are getting Steph, is Gradey Dick the new Klay Thompson?

IF you land #1, you have to go Wemby...but, secretly, Scoot is the one I would be SOOOOOOO excited for

Be just as happy getting Scoot at no2 or 3 then I would be drafting Wemby at no1.

The idea being. With Wemby + Paolo + Franz and a host of picks still incoming. A star player will want to come here and it might be team to trade out to a 6-7 man playoff roster to get it.

pepe1991 · Post #16 » by **pepe1991** » Tue May 16, 2023 3:57 pm

I'm not really sure that Scoot goes second.

I think lot of GMs will look at Ja Morant and think "can PG who can't shoot really win me playoff games" .

Flip argument is that most GMs leveradge popularity and marketability of star that Scoot can become, regardless of playoff sucess and it will buy them a lot of time before teams fire them. Case and point - took common sense , media & average fans 9 years to figure Embiid is fool's gold in fashion he wants to play.

I would be head over heels for wemby if he came here. I don't think we would have ever seen a better front court ...potentially. Imagine having an eventual center rotation of him and WCJ locked up for the next 3 years. This will prompt a SG hunt as well for sure.... as the championship window will be slowly opened and peaked into most likely this season. But Even Gary Harris would still be great option... with more assertion by our players to get him shots. and LAWD.... suggs gets a respectable 3 and Isaac comes back healthy??!?!

Fultz/Cole
Suggs/Harris
Franz/Pick #2 (Dick maybe)
Paolo/Isaac
Wemby/Carter

Shoot... even our bench could make some noise next season.

Skoot would be great and I would be excited... because the more talent the better. things will be more complicated and decisions would need to be made.

If you are Wemby your desired list looks something like :
Pacers
Spurs
OKC

Maybe Dallas. 100% not Houston.

I've always envisioned him in a Spur uniform. Just seems like a perfect fit with Pop.

Him and CHET (if healthy)... FML. lol... that could be scary.
