WhyteRyce posted:Anthony Bennett is fat, he can definitely play PF Anthony Bennett and Jabari Parker are going to be the best teammates. They'll bond at the drive-thru and have a running tally on three-point attempts like Gimli and Legolas only it'll be more like Gimli and Gimli. mynameisjohn posted:I wouldn't draft Embiid in the Top-10 still. Recovering from Sports injuries fucks up the other systems in your body too, from either over or under use. I have no doubt that he'll be working as hard as possible to recover, but for someone as raw as him I could see it taking a year and a half or so just for him to get back to the level he is now. He isn't raw.

If I were CLE I'd trade down to 3 or 4 and take Exum to march up with Kyrie if they don't want to risk Embiid. Or just take Exum at 1.1. Exum Irving backcourt seems pretty good.

I mean his skillset isn't raw. He's actually really skilled. When you say raw it brings to mind guys who don't really know what they're doing, especially posting up.

He's a huge unknown to me but if he's not a good defender you can't have both these guys starting for you no matter how good he is offensively; you just can't hide 2 guards defensively against NBA teams.

ESPN posted:Exum had the biggest summer of any player on the Big Board. He was awesome in the FIBA U-19 championships this summer, averaging 18 PPG and nearly 4.0 APG. A 33-point game against Spain in the quarterfinals and a 28-point game in the bronze-medal game versus Lithuania were highlights. He seems to have the perfect blend of size, athleticism and skill to play either the point or the 2. Add in his rangy defense, and he's a true two-way player. He graduates from high school in December and, technically, if he wanted to he could join an NCAA team for the second half of the season. However, he may not have to. He impressed scouts enough this summer that he seems like a lock to be a top-5 pick if he declares for the draft. He's also a dark horse for the No. 1 pick.

The Sixers public hardon for wiggins could be a total smokescreen for their Exum lust. They probably know more about than any other franchise.

Exum has the POTENTIAL to be great on defense, there were a few vids on him where people have pointed out he literally doesn't try going through screens and gets caught in no mans land sometimes. Also as a Magic fan I am so tired of Laker jokes we only lost one center to LA we traded Dwight there he wanted to go to the Nets

Ugh this conversation is as played out as it gets. I think the bigger question is how Hoiberg is number 5 with a whopping zero NBA players and Cal is 10 with like a bazillion.

Woj says Embiid could be out 4-6 monthsquote:Philadelphia has been intrigued with the possibility of drafting a point guard with one of its picks in the draft, closely studying Dante Exum and Marcus Smart, sources said. Smart wouldn't be selected with Philly's third overall pick, sources said, but Exum does become a candidate for the Sixers at No. 3. SMOKESCREENS

@ryenarussillo More Embiid fallout. Lakers could move Nash and #7 to Philly for MCW and T Young. 76ers would take Exum at #3. Embiid fallout is the best fallout

Maybe the Sixers are trying to set a record for most consecutive Rookie of the Year awards. Every year just draft a new dude, give him 40 minutes and the ball.

Philly is going to own half of the draft board before next Thursday. And I like the idea of the Lakers taking the best parts of that that Philly starting line-up to help them turn things around.

I like the Lakers trying to become Sixers West. Taking Jodie Meeks and Nick Young, now they want Thad and MCW. I'm sure it will work well for them.
