5th best odds. I'd take Fox or Tatum. I feel that a Fox and Gordon combo would be nasty.

We have no need for Fox with Payton. I'm not his biggest fan, but I'd take Monk before Fox for this team.

Yea I'm on the Tatum or trade pick train.

Fox is redundant with Payton here and already showing a lot of promise and potential.

I would touch Issac with a 10 ft pole

Everyone else seems a reach unless someone drops to us. I would be fielding calls for a package centered around Fournier + #5 and filler.

If we stay at 5 then i pray Tatum is there, if not then issac or monk /Dennis smith. Although when the workouts start then things get interesting. You always have a guy that looks amazing in workouts and moves up the boards. Kinda like Lillard and mccullom, they killed their workouts and improved their stock.

Oladipo soared during his workout as well. It's all speculation now. We know who the top 3 are, but everyone else is up for grab after that. Also ppl assuming that Tatum is a lock at 4. I wouldn't bet on it. Read a report that while some Gms like him, others aren't sold on him yet. Can't see philly taking him with all those tall forwards they have. The backcourt is where they need major help.

Right now, all we can do is hope we stay at the 5th and snatch the best SF available. That or pick up DSJr is Philly passes on him.

We are not getting Tatum. Philly is starting Simmons at PG next year Brett Brown already came out and said it today. They are taking BPA and that will be Tatum.

He can say that all he wants, but not even Giannis was able to do that the entire year. Never mind a (technically) rookie year dude fresh off of a foot injury. Plus nothing is set in stone, a lot of names will move up and down once the combine starts.

I didnt say that he will be successful at it. That is what their saying right now before we head into the draft. It wont matter if they fail at it next year if they go into the draft thinking he will be a PG and draft a sf.

Yeah, I suppose it goes both ways. But keep in mind the Sixers probably don't want to tank for a 5th year straight if the Ben Simmons PG thing doesn't work. BPA > Need is always the correct way to go, but I can imagine them taking DSJ or Fox just as I can Tatum or whoever else. Even if Ben is playing PG, there will be minutes for whoever they draft unless they literally decide to Magic Johnson him his entire career which would be a first in a long time for a guy his size.

Isaac can also guard some PF's so we could put Aaron on the teams elite wing.

I'll update the thread once all games are final. I'll add the official lottery odds for each team as well.

My top 7 in order:
Jackson
Ball
Fultz
Fox
Tatum
Monk
Smith Jr

I REALLY want Jackson. The dude is gonna be nice. Ball and Fultz will be too, but Something about Jackson makes him more desirable.

I disagree with you comparing Fox with Payton. Fox is a lot more relentless, and can get to the rim at will and finish at every angle with each hand. He's more similar to John Wall/Prime Derek Rose. Plus, if you watched him during the tournament you'd realize he's a much more capable jumpshooter than Payton. That I feel like is a bit overblown...

For me he's the 2nd option if this team doesn't draft Dennis Smith Jr.
