I'd love it if Ntilikina can make it into the top PG horse race. The more choices we have the better. He's really raw (handle needs a lot of work) but if he can shoot the ball he's gotta rise up our board.

I see Monk along the lines of a Devin Booker/Lou Williams/Monta Ellis like scoring combo guard. He could be an electric scorer at times but I'm not sure he will be able to do enough of the other things to truly elevate himself into the "Star" category. Outside the top 3-5, id take that.....top 1 or 2?? Id pass.

De'Aaron Fox offers game breaking speed. That's something not currently present on the Sixers roster and wouldn't be present with the addition of Fultz.

There are certainly flaws in his game, but his measurements and ISO ability along with a really nice looking jump shot makes me believe he can become a serious stud in the NBA. Lot of basketball left though.

At this point I'd take Tatum over Jackson. I just can't get behind a wing player shooting 56% from the FT line. That stat doesn't bode well for his shooting potential in the NBA. We're still only 1/3 of the way through the season, so maybe he improves. I'd want to see him at least shoot 60%.

Ntilikina or Ball + Fultz or Jackson would be the best option, depending on whom is available with either pick that would be my way to go
Capital to lock up a top2 selection

Fultz definitely isn't slow though, and he makes up for any lack of speed with his absolutely elite change of pace. I wouldn't mind Fox around the 7-10 range, but his jump shot is way too broken for me to stomach him any higher.

if we're going to take a project, i'd rather take Ntilikina

How could they possibly get Ball and Fultz or Jackson?

I think those are the top 3, unless Giles explodes in the second half of the season.

I could also see Tatum or DSJ jumping ahead of those 3 on some draft boards.

It's December. If I had to bet on all three of them being top three vs. any one player from the field being drafted top 3, I would definitely take the latter.

well if the Lakers pick end upo been 5th you certainly could, you draft Jackson, Fultz, or Tatum for that matter, with your own pick, and Ball could be there at 4th overall, for example.

Why is Mikal Bridges not on any of the draft boards? Has he stated that he won't be declaring for the draft or something?

I hope Giles does explode and some OTHER team takes him in the top 5. I want nothing to do with him. He has had 3, let me repeat 3 knee surgeries since 2013.

Maybe later in the lottery id take a shot on him with the Laker pick, but thats a pretty serious injury history. Id rather target other players without any red flags medically.

Kobblehead and I have talked about him earlier in this thread. Wish they handed the reins over to him more, but you can't blame Villanova for letting Hart be the go-to guy.

Yeah, I don't want him with our pick, or even with the Lakers pick due to fit mostly. Not sure why he has had the knee injuries, but I hope he comes back healthy, and someone takes him in the top 5.

Jayson Tatum is shooting 26.7% from 3pt. Is his 3 point jump shot now broken? Will he be a poor fit for the Sixers because he can't spread the floor?

A backcourt of Lonzo Ball and DeAaron Fox would do a great deal of damage in the NBA. They compliment one another with how they approach making shots in halfcourt offense so they do not duplicate skills in that way at this point in their careers. The Sixers would have a speed advantage every night with those two guys sprinting in transition.

C Embiid
PF Simmons
SF Covington
SG Ball
PG Fox

Because he's basically second or even third fiddle on Villanova and draft sites, much like fans on here, don't care about perimeter defense.

Don't believe he has stated he won't be declaring for the draft since we're not even in conference play and it would be insane for him to do so this early. Did a quick google search, didn't find anything like that.

Tatum has shot 15 threes since coming out of injury. Just give the man some time to get to 100%
