Sixers-Pelicans Lottery Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

I was all nostalgic from watching the Bad Boys 30 for 30

Randle didn't shoot as well from outside as he was billed this year.  I'd rather have Vonleh.

For me:
Wiggins
Embiid
Parker/Exum
Vonleh
Randle

if its the 5 and the 12, are you still alive?

[ice grillin you]

ill survive any scenario where they dont lose the pellies pick....but 5-12 would send me into a severe elongated depression for sure

my feelings haven't really changed since the beginning of the year. i wavered a little bit on wiggy in the beginning and am not as much into parker as i was but i'm still totally cool with a top 4 pick. when you have a guy like aaron gordon, who could easily still be there at 7 or 8 and has an off chance of being the best of all of them, draft is deep as farg yo.

1. wiggy
2 or 3. parker
2 or 3. randle
4. embiid
5. who cares

i also think gary harris is a great fit with the pellies pick.

lose the pellies pick and get the 5 = do you kill someone (munson?)

[ice grillin you]

munson is already dead to me

id probably just wither away and die myself within six months...kind of like two old people who have been married for 60 years and one of them dies....the other one always goes shortly after

[Eagles_Legendz]

you must like aaron gordon a lot if you put a high value on defense.  Gordon doesn't really do anything for me.  I get that he's going to be a good do everything type of guy in the NBA but that doesn't scream star potential at all IMO which is what the Sixers need to hit with here.

I'm also curious why Stauskas is lower than DMcD in all mock drafts.  I think McDermott would be fine with the Sixers pick if they get someone explosive with the first pick because he fills the shooting void, but Stauskas will have a better chance getting his own shot in the NBA.  He's actually deceptively good off the dribble.

[ice grillin you]

im not saying hes the better player but mcdermott has by far the best skill of both him and stauskus...his shooting is next level...stauskas is better all around but no part of his game is in the same league with mcdermotts lights out shot and he isnt going to scare anyone in any area....mcdermott is the kind of guy that can change the way a defense plays when hes in the game....a pick and pop guy who is also an outstanding passer (and i think he can excel in this capacity in the rigth system) is so valuable in todays league

i dont like gordon in the top 5 if thats what you are saying but id take him in a heartbeat if he fell and they could get him at say 10

[phattymatty]

if someone gets gordon at 10, which i don't see happening, that's an all-time steal in the draft. i like him more than most people here apparently and think he'll eventually be one of 3 or 4 best players out of this draft.

[ice grillin you]

vonleh's wingspan measured in at 7'5 and his hands 11 3/4....those are pretty sick numbers

he was 6'8 out of shoes

[ice grillin you]

exum: 6-6 in shoes....196 lbs...6'9 3/4 wing

that huge....mcw wing is 6-7...it even beats rondo's 6-9
