Yeah....I fully expect the 2 50s picks to be sold or never play a minute. There were a few depth players I liked in the early 30s. I dont get it.

Looks like we're banking on the ongoing improvement of Amir Johnson and Greg Monroe. Wootwoot!

So we need to fill out a roster with cost effective players.....we dump 33 (a very valuable 2nd) to move up 4 spots and take Thybulle, who probably falls to 24 anyways.

Then we dump 42 to save 1M bucks. And then we trade 34 for 2 future 2nds and 57. Lmao.

Unless we land 2 of Terence Davis, Brantley or Norvell in the 50’s, this draft gets a F grade for me.

Was just about to post I like the Bruno pick. I hate this team right now. 2 more picks, why? So we can sell them?

This has gone in for years, before Brand. When was the last 2nd round the Sixers actually tried in?

KJ, and Grant?

I'm staying up for us to draft Dedric Lawson. Guaranteed to happen.

What a fail. Completely predicable Celtics would take Edwards with the pick the Sixers gave to Boston.

man, I'm real skeptical of Brand right about now.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

I don't get it. How many rookies you guys want in the rotation/near rotation? We got Zhaire, Milton, Bolden, Thybulle. So you wanted 6-7 young players? Like that would help our bench. Especially in playoffs lol.

So they wasted their top 3 2nds, when they desperately need cheap depth. And they still have 54 and 57, which they will likely sell. As long as this ownership group is in place, we should just assume they hate the 2nd round from now on.

The Hinkie regime was such an aberration from what this ownership group is all about.

Exactly. Have to keep the 2nd round gravy train going for our cheap owners. Every year they sell off picks to make ca$h so they need a consistent stream of them.

Seriously...what the hell are we doing? This team needs cheap labor...we have two high 2nd rounders and the 42 pick and give them away.

Bring back Hinkie!!!!

Why not draft a guy like Bruno, who is a need, instead of getting more second round picks? maybe he is bad, but at least has some upside to be the backup center we need.

This isn't Elton Brand, this is mandated by Joshua Harris. He's going to spend, this is the downside of that.

We need a legitimate, proven backup C in free agency. Not a rookie 2nd round pick.

We came in with 5 draft picks and we got out with just Thybulle?
