I said that for Towns, but Okafor isn't a great fit with either Noel or Embiid. It's more of an issue.

love it

i think i'm actually more excited by this than Russell. It's hard to explain. But this is really swinging for the fences.

Jahlil is a monster

**** that. Keep Jahlil

Not interested in young Al Jefferson. The Sixers keep having to execute backup plans. This could be a long rebuild.

OT: listening to the draft on ESPN Chicago 1000 because don't have access to TV right now, LORD is this coverage awful. I truly do hate national narratives.

OT2: are the Magic gonna deal Oladipo now?

I agree. I think let outside opinions hinder their excitement. This is excellent.

Not what I wanted to have happen, but the right decision considering the circumstances. BPA and just figure it out.

Welcome Jahlil!

Im just glad we didnt take Porzingis!

Okafor should thrive under BB. If Embiid can bounce back, we can always make a deal.

I said before the draft, this is a good problem to have. Probable best case scenario, they're all stars and you package one of 'em for a superstar. Worst case, someone busts but at least you have depth!

When's the last time we had a low post scoring god?

The guy who was the consensus number one pick at some point before the draft falls to the Sixers. Noel and Joel fell because of injury, Okafor became a market inefficiency because of the way the Warriors won the Championship. Undervalued players all, that is the definition of a Moneyball approach to team building.

So the Sixers have been beyond terrible for 3 consecutive seasons, and they draft 3 players who all play the same position and a guy who won't be in the league for at least another 2 seasons.. What's the plan again?

Let's ignore this guy, he's not looking for constructive discussion.

Screw fit for now....at least okafor is kinda of a proven commodity, he was the BPA.

It could be a problem if it means they don't play as well as they're able to because of it.

I would have traded multiple picks next year for Russell, heat and lakers will most likely be playoff teams after the offseason and thunder will also be a playoff team.

Plus even though its early, I think next draft is super weak. Ahh this log jam is just annoying, gonna be sad watching these bad philly guards for another year.

Its a longterm rebuild, if a center is there next year, the Sixers will take him. This is the Chip Kelly route.

That's my only problem with this rebuild, was fully on board but 3 years of tanking and we just created a log jam, didn't workout for the Jazz.

Bad luck but we should of deff traded up.

Not sure what this has to do with Chip Kelly. Kelly wants to win and win all the time. He goes out and gets elite talent at positions of need. While filling in the holes he has or makes. The 76ers couldn't be any different.

Glad we got Okafor instead of Pringles. Sucks that we missed out on Russell but this is great insurance for Embiid. Would have loved to get Winslow with that Heat pick tanking sob's.

The big guy beats little guy thing Kelly talks about, that's all.
