You know, the funny thing is they could absolutely hit on those picks and not end up with egg on their face. But my God does their process suck.


Two things can be true - they made two great picks and they’re still going to suck because they’re managed horribly.

Murray is ball dominant.
Jordan Poole is ball dominant.
Fears is ball dominant.
Zion (when he plays) is ball dominant.
DQ is an on ball player.

Wtf is their team structure lol

We desperately need a true PF now to round out the roster.

PG Maxey | McCain | Butler
SG Grimes | Edgecombe | Gordon
SF George | Edwards | Council
PF Oubre | ??? | ???
CE Embiid | Bona | Drummond

I think we take someone at 35. Probably a junior / senior stretch four who can play 15 MPG right away.

Btw, is this a two day draft or did they just did it for Bronny?

I just want to say it’s been a pleasure fighting in the trenches by your side for DQ. Who knows, maybe we can pick him up in a few years.

Murphy, Herb, Queen, Fears, Hawkins, Bey need to be the focus. Fears and Queen are a bit ball dominant which is a problem, but the defense is there to cover Queen imo.

I want Bogo Markovic. Since we usually only have 14 on the roster that will probably be it, so maybe they will prioritize someone who can play now like you say.

He’ll be too expensive (or he’ll be free if he eats too many beignets).
