Simmons owned last night. The only thing that makes this acceptable is that the Cavs will undoubtedly ruin whoever they draft.

What role would Payne settle into? He looked like a pretty decent ranged shooter whenever I watched him. What's his ceiling, Channing Frye?

Cleveland was trying to sick tradez everyone last year with their #1 and no one bit on their (rumored) ridiculous asking price. I wonder if they try that again this year.

Excluding Embiid, how likely are some of the lottery guys gonna bust at the next level? Who has the bustiest profile?

Also I'm considering becoming a Sixers fan again like 8 year old me was when AI played. Who should I cheer for them to draft with their second pick?

But the Sixers already have a ton of young guys with a poo poo ton of cap room. Shouldn't be unrealistic that they'd trade up, land Wiggins, develop the core group of Wiggins/MCW/Noel, then add some great veteran help at PF/SF.

What's everyone's opinion on Rodney Hood? He seems like he has the skillset and the physical ability to go much higher than I'm seeing him slotted at.

Please someone tell me he's not just an Iman Shumpert who can pass Shumpert can pass. What he can't do is have anything resembling a consistent offensive game. He's MKG in SG form.

Even if Embiid has a broken foot the Sixers should still pick him up. I don't see why they wouldn't if he drops to them.

kiimo posted:He's also a bit of a tweener. Don't get me wrong I think he will overcome that. Just saying his length isn't ideal for a 4. Being powerful is as important as being tall down low. Barkley conquered the 90's with his powerful buttocks despite being no taller than a common 4th grader

kiimo posted:I get that but Randle's offensive numbers do have a couple notes that should be considered. Only 20.9% of his offense came from post-ups, which is just average. He shot 39.3% when he shot on post-up opportunities which isn't good. From Draft Express there's also this..."Jump shooting is another area of his game that stands out, as he shot only 17.3% on jump shots logged by Synergy, with the 0.40 points per possession he scored on those attempts being the lowest mark in this power forward class." Randle always struck me as a guy that you excuse for missing a shot because he'll be mauling to grab the offensive rebound and get it up again. No matter what he's going to be bruising and that takes a toll on opposing defenses after a while. He's not some potential perennial top 5 all star but he should be a good presence on any team. My real issue with him is I don't believe he passes much once the ball hits his hands.

I see nothing wrong with the Sixers grabbing Embiid. They're not going to be competitive next year either short of a miracle FA signing.
