Hope i’m wrong but i think our draft is going to bite us in the ass. We needed a big but we got cute. Fleming and kalkbrenner were there for the taking and instead we drafted 3 guys who probably are in the g leAgue all year

Hawks, Magic, Pistons are gonna be good. Cavs the best team. Sixers, Bucks, knicks…thats seven teams be for we even get to Pacers, celtucs, heat. Cemtixs will
Be 7-10.
Wizards, hornets, Bulls, Nets gonna suck.

Kalkbrenner is not that good. Way too slow. Not an nba player.

Not convinced MIL and PHI are any better than us. Especially after PHI gets its usual Embiid injury.

Not drafting Fleming is what is killing me. Instead we got a Niang. If Brad really wanted Hugo he could have taken a chance he slips to 32 (I say most likely) and if Hugo was drafted we could have went with a Big (Kalk?) all while still having a need for Hauser. Plus we have Scheierman to develop.
As it stands now, we have no use for Hauser, Niang as the only PF and 3 HUGE question marks at center.

2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe..

I trust Stevens to find the best player for the money. Problem is, he doesn't have any money to spend.

Nonsense…Maxey, injured Embiid and washed PG13 are much better!

The way the Cs play defense, a rim protector is vital.
This season doesn't really matter - it's a bridge year.
As long as we have a rim protector by the time the 2027 playoffs get here, we're good.
For a team that's not contending, Queta and Amari can be sufficient rim protectors.

Pacers proved that it's not about the big names anymore.
An NBA team today must have size, speed, and shooting.
If the Cs improve their pace and get more fast break points, they will surprise the doubters.
Slow teams like Bucks and Sixers will once again struggle.
