Welcome Anžejs Pasečņiks

I love it when people form strong opinions on players when they haven’t even seen them play one second of actual basketball outside of YouTube clips or reading mock draft write ups.

Edit : Also Jordan Bell is 23 and Kyle K. Is 22. Just thought you should know that when you post about age concerns.

Agreed.

To me, this kid is just BC taking a flyer on someone that he liked. He traded very little for him. It will either work or it won’t, but blaming him for not selecting other players that were taken later and have been great is not fair.

When people like Bell or Kuzma hit you should just praise the GM’s that selected them, and not criticize the ones who didn’t.

We are not the warriors or Spurs. We do not have the luxury of wasting 1st round selections on what if Euro stashes.

The Sixers had Kuzma in TWICE for workouts. If our bozo gm couldn't see the potential and then threw away a first rounder as he did he should be FIRED!

This is how you waste your talent. You let daddy hire his stupid son who just squanders every opportunity available to him.

Look I wanted Bell BAD. But 25 other GM's passed on Kuzma as well.....so Id assume they should all be fired?

Mine as well go back and fire the entire league that passed on IT2, or Manu as well.

[Black Mage]

That is a weak argument. Maybe we don't take Kuzma or Bell. But one thing is for sure, it was a wasted opportunity to draft a player that could have been on the squad this year and helping.

[Black Mage]

Think Utah would be willing to part with Thabo? Figure it would cost us TLC at least.

[ivysixer2000]

I think the big mistake that was made was rostering Stauskas and Okafor this year when they had no intention of using either of them. Should have just cut them back in the the summer.

I expect Pickanick Baskettes and Bolden will both be over next year, and there’s a chance that they also have two 1st rounders to add on to them. So as far as the 2nds go, you all should just forget about any sleepers you may love. Consider all of those picks as good as gone. At best maybe BC takes one more stash.

Yeah I see 2 more stashes in the 2nd round this summer and probably selling the other 2 which is going to piss everyone off again, including me. Least he could get a future pick for them instead of lining the pockets of the owner, although that is job security for him, doesn't help the team.

As much as it has been seen how thin our bench was this year, seem like he would learn....probably not. If you want to have fun and love wasting time you can research 2nd round picks, but if you want to use your time wisely I would just look at the guys he can stash cause that's his thing at the moment.

[freshie2]

Bolden may be over next year, but the center is two years away (at least)

Pasecniks has guaranteed money on the table, and like Korkmaz, he can force the Sixers hand. Found an interview where he says he has two years left on his Spanish deal, but no mention if there’s an NBA buyout clause. Best as I can tell he’s not making a ton, seems to me he’d want to get paid.

[JohnWillow]

He is a scrub, not worth having any hope, it is just a waste of time. Let's face it, the only reason he generated some buzz is because Porzingis has had success and he resembles him a bit, except he is not a very good shooter and doesn't protect the rim. So basically he is nothing like Porzingis, because these are the two main things that make Porzingis great tbh.

Bro what are you talking about lol He did not generate some buzz because of Porzingis, Pasecniks did prove himself in the ACB and other competitions... there's a gif for you.



Talking about Pasecniks he had a pretty good two-game stint as a Latvian starting center in World Cup qualification tournament, he was awesome there... I had a full video of both games, but it was on my main computer and it's now in getting fixed. Haven't been able to watch him play in ACB or Eurocup, but as a backup center, he is doing very well in his limited minutes.

In World cup qualification games he avg like 21 minutes per game in those two games, and he put up 15 pts, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block while shooting 73 % from the field (11-15), 100 % from the three-point line (1/1) and 64% from the free throw line (7/11).

[Kolkmania]

Now that I think about it, it makes me even more mad.

He used two future second rounders to move up into the 1st round to select someone who'll probably never contribute to this team and then waste even more second rounders by selling them. Our guard/wing depth has been atrocious this year and we could have kept Jawun Evans or Sterling Brown, with the 1st rounder Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Bell, Josh Hart, etc.

It's not like we didn't have space. We threw away a roster spot and (the recurring asset) a second rounder to acquire Trevor Booker. Who I like as a player, but is a horrible fit with the roster.

End of the day, four second rounders flushed through the toilet without returning one valuable asset.

Saw Sterling Brown the other day play against Klay Thompson. I honestly think he would have been our best wing from the bench if he was here .

[freshie2]

Brown has looked good tonight...the Bucks have done well in the 2nd with Brogdon and potentially Brown.

[Kobblehead]

What happens if this dude tries to force his way over ala Korkmaz? Should we trade his rights? Roster spots are pretty tight right now and I don't think he's NBA ready or necessarily good enough to be Embiid's primary back-up.

Using his rights as part of a trade up in the draft sounds like a great plan, regardless of whether he tries to force his way over.

You tell him to look at Korkmaz, he won’t be in the rotation this year. He would be playing in the G league, it would hurt him long term coming over now then in a few years where he is further developed. If it’s about money then u deal his ass to another team.

[The Master]

Pasecniks is probably the worst draft pick in Sixers recent history besides Okafor, I know we needed some euro guys drafted but he's having worse season statistically than last year, and he will be 23yo in December. It seems that he has zero chances to become valuable backup for Joel.

Considering how bad was Korkmaz in G-League, I'm afraid we had wasted two first rounders last two years. Yeah, both have plenty of time to develop, but they don't look like first rounders at all in this moment.

That's why I'm probably OK with trading up from our 10-11th pick with using this ~23th we will have.

[Bum Adebayo]

He is already trash. Some people just haven’t caught on to it yet.
However, he is still better than Okafor.

So BC wasted 2 draft picks to draft a bum?

[ivysixer2000]

Well I have left hope out for this to work out for us, but we do have to see the writing on the wall.

I would actually like to use our own pick in this upcoming draft to move up from #10, but Anzejs is what makes me think twice about it. We need a backup center picked with our own pick, only cause of our failure with Anzejs at least for now.

That's becoming a habit

[Unbreakable99]

Well we need a backup center who can defend and rebound. This guy doesn’t appear to be it. No point in compounding the problem and keep him and not draft a backup center because we already have this guy. Just accept the miss and get the backup center in this draft.
