Good thing sport fishing is easy on the back.

Crazy how few prospects we have worked out so far. I wonder if reporters just arent getting the info and the 6ers FO is being great about keeping things quiet, or if the inverse is true- we are being super obvious with who we want to draft.

When you work out Jaden Hardy, and the next best guy is Marjon Beauchamp and a couple other guys, it feels very obvious who the pick would be. 

But maybe theyve just been very secretive about workouts with guys like Jovic, Liddell, etc...

I wouldn’t be surprised if they took hardy. I think he’s a couple years away from being a big contributor. But prior to going to the g league he was top 5 player in his high school class. I could see them thinking because he played with more mature players in the g league that he was at a disadvantage and would've went higher if he went to college and had more success.

he looks like he can score a bit, and operate in the pick and roll. 

He doesnt have blow by quickness, but he seems to create enough room with methodical maneuvers like Fultz did. He shot 88% from the FT line so you expect he will become a reliable 3 point shooter at some point. I think he is not known as a great finisher at the basket, but he can get up for some nice dunks. It would seem he can improve as a finisher as well.

At some point fairly soon he looks to have potential as a 3 level scorer. Wouldnt hate it. But he does appear to need a little time to be a consistent contributor. I think he is capable of bench minutes right away, but I think youd get an occasional flash of potential, and otherwise would look kinda like a shake milton out there just waiting for him to gain consistency.

I didnt want PJ Tucker when he was washed like 3 years ago or whenever the last time he was available was.

I still dont want PJ Tucker. But you knew after Embiid's comments naming him specifically, we are going to be in on PJ Tucker.

Just when you think we may be done with Danny Green and his frequent 0 point scoring games, here comes another.

maybe on a championship caliber team. Here, he wont make a bit of difference. We dont have enough other players to carry his load of 0 productivity just so he can annoy other players. 

If he opted out of 7.5 million, hes planning on getting paid more. Now youre talking spending our entire, or almost entire MLE on him, and thats our main possible way to add talent to this team. I think thatd be as disappointing as the time we spent our money on Mike Scott. With similar results.

 

Amazing how Morey just keeps looking to bring in those old rockets players.... Harden, Gordon, Tucker....

Agreed.  Tucker wouldn’t help this team at all.  No thanks

He is still a really good defender who can guard all the bigger wings in the East and shot 41% from 3s on 2.7 attempts 

RAPTOR 538 has his WAR as 57th best in the league this year. 

I dont really know what any of those statistics are. They may be too convoluted to give a real picture. Hs 38 years old and chubby, with unimpressive steal and block numbers. I dont see how he can be a great defender. 

On the other hand, there are numerous players on that list above him who are available this summer. So if we are using that stat, get some of those other guys instead. 

this sounds like a lot of attention....

 

Hardy makes sense if the wings are depleted

I don't know how steals and blocks are an indicator of a good defender. This year when guarding Tatum, regular and post season, on 127 possessions Tatum scored 15 points 

The best perimeter defender of his generation, Tony Allen, averaged 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks during his prime and they aren't anything special.

I like tucker just not on a 3 year $30 mil dollars deal. That third year he becomes an expiring contract. My biggest concern is he’s 37 and at some point he’s falling off

I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the Celtics or Miami tbh. Tatum and him are great friends from St. Louis. They have talked about it before. Miami i think wants to get him and it’s Miami. 

dark horse to me is Portland cause i do think they have the 7th pick (i assume it would have to get done prior to the draft) and some young players they’d be willing to deal in a sign and trade

The comments are great 

 

Every video or article of Ben that allows for public comments are a must read.  Never disappoints.  He is truly the joke of the league.  Does any big name athlete on an American sports team catch more heat than Ben?

So let's hope Memphis can get in this Brown sweepstake then or can Celtics keep him

Celtics could keep brown. they’d have to unload like smart, white and theis and likely picks in order to pull it off. 

It's reported now that if you're a GM that hasn't received a call from the 6ers about Thybulle and the 23rd pick, your phone must be off. 6ers doing everything they can to trade them. 

Seems they want to create the space to receive the full MLE to offer that ridiculous contract to Tucker.

Thybulle isn't going to develop and needs to go.  But trading 2 young prospects to sign a 38yo declining role player is bad business. 

Thybulle and the pick should only be traded for someone up and coming,  or an established role player way younger than 38.
