I feel bad for De'Aaron Fox because I think he has risen way too high in this draft and is now going to be expected to come in and make a big difference right away due to mainstream hype.

I don't see him being much different than Marcus Smart in the NBA, and that's not even a bad projection IMO. But definitely not a top-5 type of talent. Probably not even too 10, but he will go in the top 10.

Oh well

Simmons is no damn 7 footer. Embiid has him beat by a mile. Look how much taller Embiid is unless Embiid grew to 7'5.

After looking at it some more Simmons is in flip flops but even giving him a few more centimeters, he still isn't close to Embiid.

Yeah but look at the shoes Simmons has on. Not saying he is 7ft, but they look like Vans almost.

Well he looks taller in flip flops than than Covington is in shoes.

The 7 foot thing Has been put to rest for a while now but he's pretty tall.

Damn it, Dennis Smith is guaranteed to impress in this setting. I really hope Bryan doesn't pull the trigger.

I still think Colangelo will take DSJ, due to his talk about fit and how desperate he was to trade for Dunn. I'll be much happier with DSJ than I would have been with Dunn.

Fox has elite speed and an ability to play above the rim, that will give him opportunities to score on the basketball court that Marcus Smart will never see.

Well Covington is only half an inch taller than Iguodala.

Ben is in sandals and is also standing a little behind where Joel is standing.
