Terquavion? 

Im watching this Jalen Williams video from one of the combine scrimmages.  He is a guy they are talking about on realgm theyd be happy with at 23, but sounds like he is rocketing up boards since the combine.

While I am watching the video, I had 2 other thoughts. They are talking about being surprised Beauchamp sat out because "he loves to hoop" and "he is appreciative of every opportunity he gets." The 6ers have visited with him. And I love this attitude. They should be searching for guys who can try to replicate Maxey's work ethic. The bar is set. I dont see how you can ever draft a guy who isnt going to work like Maxey now. Beauchamp may be a realistic possibility, with that kind of attitude. He is 6'6'' with a nearly 7'1'' wingspan. Seems you should be able to play him at the 3 as well. He is an efficient scorer based on 2P% and eFG%. And rebounds. He needs to work on 3s, and FTs. He has the tools to be an excellent defender. And sounds like he has the work ethic to develop. He is mocked at 24 on tankathon.

The next thing that happened was, they were talking to Tyty Washington. A guard from Kentucky, who led the SEC with a 2.35 assist/turnover ratio. It seems you cant go wrong with Kentucky guards. He is almost 6'4'' Good size for PG. He is ranked on tankathon as the top PG in the draft, but is mocked at 19. Fairly close to our range.

That McGowens guy attempts over 6FTs a game in college. But shoots the 3 at like 27%. He seems to be a big time slasher.

Terquavion on the other hand really likes to let it rip. He attempted over 8 3s a game in 31 minutes. At 36.9%

 

This guy looks like a smooth shooting TJ McConnell. Great assist/Turnover 2.97. Averaged 5.8 assists. Over 38% from 3. Over 87% at the FT line. 

Hes a senior. 22 years old. Pick number 58 on the current tankathon mock. For a contender, why not pick up this experienced player who can do all of those important things?

 

Plaschke is really pulling for @Bwestbrook36 to have his mental well being be in danger lol  

 

 

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly informing teams that Tyrese Maxey is "UNTOUCHABLE” this offseason. (per Sports Illustrated) 👏🏀

I guess,  on some podcast, harden said he had been fatigued the past few years and took an offensive hiatus the past 2 years.  Says next season is the resurgence.

We will see.  Seems doubtful.

He took 1 shot in 22 minutes, that's not an offensive hiatus that's just plain being a little **** that crawled in a effing hole just like Ben Simmons.

Because teams are stupid and only want potential ala Springer. Where the good teams see what the kids do will instead of what they can't do. 

Sixers need to target kids that can play this year and add value. 

Ochai Agbaji Kansas Wing 

Tari Eason LSU Forward 

EJ Lidell Ohio St. Wing 

 

I really like Malaki Branham and think he will be a Middleton type of player. Not uber athletic, but can get to his spots, has a good consistence release, understands pace a bit already, and good mid range game.

The other day on one of the Fanatic shows they went through a list of top 20 players with the scenario of Tobi and Maxey for ____.  And to my surprise there was only a handful of players in which I said Yes, do the deal combined with it would make sense with Embiid.  ie, Yes I'd do it for Jokic but that doesn't work with Embiid so I ultimately say NO.  However, Luka is a yes and yes.   KD is a yes and yes, etc. 

Not new but just wondering.... as a GM its a fine line to try to walk between making your super max guy happy and bringing in his guys, or, doing what actually makes sense for the team. Embiid's preference likely stems from their relationship as Hanlen clients, working out in the same place in the summers. And maybe it would have made sense pre-Harden. But, can/should they really still add Beal? Kind of want to for Embiid. But also feel like it can become a complete mess.

So lazy and out of shape.  Hmm.

Two years in a row that Embiid has been critical of his teammates but not exactly lit it up in those big games as well. Could be nothing or could cause a bit of friction.

This was 11 months ago.  He also showed signs of this our first few games but that doesn't fit the narrative.  In this video, you can see he isn't running in quicksand.  I presume his dribbling was terrible with us because his brain was processing it faster than his feet/legs could move.  If he tried the dunk around the 1:50 mark right now, he would probably air ball.  Houston Harden is dead.  This one could still be extremely valuable with the rise of Maxey and a good off-season.  The cherry on top would be that Doc is gone.  I might be eating these words again next year but I honestly feel this way.  When I am wrong, I will admit it.  I am wrong a lot 🤣

I’d be okay with Beal/Embiid, but Harden with them would be a disaster.  A top heavy  roster is not going to win a title 

The Los Angeles Lakers have taken their time in replacing Frank Vogel as their head coach. It has been more than a month since Vogel was fired, but the Lakers still haven't settled on a coach. Recent reports have suggested that three finalists (Darvin Ham, Terry Stotts and Kenny Atkinson) have emerged for the job, but according to Marc Stein, the field is still a bit wider than that. Stein reported that the pool of viable candidates is "still wider" than just that trio, and that assistant coaches Charles Lee and Adrian Griffin would receive renewed consideration. 

One name the Lakers reportedly haven't given up on? Philadelphia 76ers coach Doc Rivers. According to Stein, the Lakers "have not completely abandoned hope" that Rivers could unexpectedly become available, but nothing the 76ers have done suggests that is going to happen.

I’m pretty convinced this all comes down to money with Glenn after listening to neubeck, bodner and the guys on Sirius discuss it. sixers ownership doesnt want to be stuck paying Glenn the $24 mil he’s owed for the next 3 years if they fire him along with having to pay the next coach. which is likely D’antoni who’s going to make similar money. 

We'll hold on to Doc, Sam Cassell will leave and go on to coach a team to the Confernence Finals like Monty Williams and Ime Udoka

Yeah… I would say if it’s just the money, they could encourage him to resign to leave for LA by just making the job less desirable. Like tell him he’s staying on as coach, but Morey will have a lot more say in who actually plays in the games. Basically, let it known that he’ll be micro-manager the way Doug Pederson was. 
 

However, not sure he’d opt to leave for LA because of that, considering he’ll just be a figure-head there while Lebron plays GM and coach.
