the front office talking about wanting seasoned players definitely brings terance davis to the fore. my only concern is a logjam between zhaire, shake and davis. do you think davis can be a lead ballhandler?

Uhg, What a waste. Cameron Johnson won't be able to do a darn thing better than Furkan Korkmaz and he's 2 years older than Korkmaz.


Hell probably be able to shoot better...but that's not really a hard accomplishment.

feels like a tall isaiah canaan to me... i would pray cam's length within the system make a huge difference between the two.

we already need a backup five who can anchor the second unit and be a spot starter. acquiring dedmon, bryant, nerlens, or whomever would be even more important if we were to draft cam johnson.


Big 76ers and UNC fan, Cam is a really nice player I'm in shock people have him rated so high in mocks. Honestly I won't be happy if we pick him at 24. He's just a solid 4 year college player. Good kid plays with effort . To me there's nothing special about his game that sets him apart you can say his shooting but he was kind of an up and down player. Never felt like he was great coming off screens and he's not gonna beat u off the dribble. Gives effort on defense but he's not that gritty tough guy. I think he's a poor man's Justin Jackson another UNC alum who Sacramento picked 2 years ago.

Exactly. A poor man's Justin Jackson. There will be better options with a 1st round pick.

I don't think it's likely that Davis plays on the ball. He's not much of a creator or passer. Plays like a F, offensively. He will find ways to produce buckets, though. Somehow he has excellent scoring instincts. He'll be like David Mwaba with point production.

Cam Johnson is like Mike Muscala in the way that he's fake useful.

He'll be efficient and display a B+ skill, but he can't produce points so he'll just be a big nothing out there on the court. He's a 10th through 15th roster spot guy. Using a real pick on him is such a dumb use of an asset, imo.

I don't even think he's worth his cap figure, so I'd pass.

Is Frank the cautionary tale for Sekou?

I don't care how much upside scouts think these guys have, I ain't interested in using a lottery pick on a dude scoring 5-7 points per game for his international squad.

Well, 42 and 54 could be on the market in one fashion or another. 33 and 34 should not be, as the Sixers also need cheap labor to fill out their own roster.

Yea, I think we need to repeat 100x.....The Sixers will NOT use all 5 picks.

People will still come around with pitch forks and torches when we deal away 42 for a future second or a few million for 54.

NBA TV doing their live mock draft. Give Sixers Bol Bol passing up Thybulle and Grant Williams.

After doing entire intro and props about how Sixers have NO ONE ON THE ROSTER outside of Embiid and SImmons from the rotation last year, Billy King says he loves the pick because Sixers love centers shooting threes like with Boban and it would just be fun to have Bol Bol and Boban playing together. Their other analyst said he loves the pick b/c it would just be such a cool story having his dad start his career with the same team. UGH. These morons get paid millions to be on TV???

SMH.

Just keep being you Billy, dumb as bricks. It is embrassing when you are the league's flagship station and should have pick of the litter for analysis and you hire freaking Billy King to give analysis.

There's no way Bol falls to #24. If he does we should snatch him for sure. Could be the center backup we have desperately needed.

You're kidding right??? That guy is going to have his lunch taken from him every game. He is just as frail and weak as his dad was. I want nothing to do with him.

Very interested in how we view Dairus Bazley and if he's on the board at 24.

After having 2 workouts with us, I have been trying to look into him more and more......and he checks some boxes in terms of an upside swing. Would be a unique addition with the ability to really add to our mismatches on the floor....and certainly could be a lottery pick in this draft if he had played 1 year in the NCAA based on his size/skillset.
