If were gonna take a big SF...id rather take Greene than Randolph.
At least Greene can shoot.

Randolph I was not sold on as a top 8 pick, but if he's there at 16, he's got to be strongly considered.He might be skinny, but I dont think he's weak. Durant only benched 185 like once, Randolph did it 7 times. He's probably not a PF, but he can be a part time one.

There's no way I'm taking Greene over Randolph. That's not to say that I'm against Greene being the pick for the Sixers (depending on the way things go) but if both of them are on the board, you can't take the inferior talent and and inferior defender in Greene over Anthony Randolph. Either way, I'll be stunned if Randolph is on the board at #16 so I don't believe ES will be faced with this decision.

Greene's way too much of a SF for me....as is Randolph. We need a wide body with some sort of idea how to play on the low black. I Say Koufos, Hickson and then Speights....based only on the fact that Speights seems to be slipping.

I LOVE Hickson, guys.....He's an athletic monster and attacks the basket with aggression and intent...and he scores down low from all angles. We have nothing like that

your not the only one Johnny...i have a man crush on JJ Hickson and would love to see him here in Philly.The same goes for Richard Hendrix who would be a HUGE reach @ 16 but his style of play is exactly what we need...a back em down bruise em up crafty around the hoop type PF.

True. It's great to beat teams with the uptempo style, but in the playoffs you will get stalled and you need options in the post and out of screen rolls. Right now you don't have to pack in against anybody on our front line...and our best post presence on O is Miller. Now I see Thad as a potential post threat, but it'd be nice to have a banger down there too. In the playoffs, Reggie proved that even an unskilled offensive player can grab some points if he plays tougher than the defender is willing to match. Now imagine if that aggressive player had NATURAL SCORING ABILITY

Not a big fan. I either want a banger or someone who can hit a consistent jump shot.

Yeah....that's why I lean towards Koufos as the shooter and hickson as that banger. Though I'm starting to think Arthur might just be the best overall player, despite not filling my specific wishes.

This guy just seems too talented to drop below 16... Another top 5 talent at one point, like DeAndre Jordan... If he's available at 16 — which looks entirely possible — I simply don't see the Sixers passing on him as BPA. Could he be the guy?
