I will say that I have followed nbadraft.net for years and when they give someone a 9 in shooting, that is an incredible adulation.

I can already see that the complaining about his nails and Tik Tok account are going to annoy me way more than either of those things themselves.

Too bad. How many good players do you see with distractions like that social media BS? They are out working on their game not choreographed crap.

Was this for our pick?

Yep, about McCain.  They do not hand out 9s for jump shot very often.

Yeah don’t see any path to that with what’s available

Last time I was this annoyed by a pick it was maxey.  He wasn't a shooter and I wanted a shooter. 

This guy is a shooter,  but I wanted wing talent and athleticism.  He offers neither. 

Let's hope I'm just as wrong about this pick.

 

Wonder if Wiggins was offered.  Supposedly he is being "aggressively shopped"

LeBron or Durant. That's about the only chance

Calling the bluff here. Realistically the best talent I can see the Sixers acquiring in free agency is DeMar Derozan or KCP, and while both are decent players, it's not enough to be "up there with the Boston Celtics".

Paul George isn't coming here and we know James Harden definitely isn't coming back (nor should we pursue that option).

Eh i don’t think the warriors would want a young draft pick. They’d want the Sixers to take Wiggins off their hands but i don’t think they’d want a kid taking up $4 mil of cap space especially if they are getting PG. I wouldn’t be surprised if the nets called about dealing DFS. Or maybe even Atlanta calling trying to shed salary as they are likely going into a rebuild. 

I can't believe they didn't take Knecht. Morey instead chose a flamer who manicures and paints his little nails. Fire Morey now. He can't land a star player and he blew the draft. Damn, we need Howie Rozeman to be the 76er's GM, too.

🤮

 

Everyone is a Knecht expert and in love with him all of a sudden. His defense is worse than McCain even for his size 

 

I have watched every McCain game multiple times because he is a guy my son can emulate and copy from. He isn't flashy in his moves, excellent at shooing off movement, a great floater, got more and more load/involvement as the season went on, and is a worker on his craft. His best athleticism attribute is his ability to decelerate and create space which is Harden and Luka ish. He has the same trainer as Harden as well. 

Jared can hoop and should be utilised the same way JJ was with Embiid years back. Anyone complaining about his painted nails, who gives two craps.

I've seen FVV comps, and the idea that he can be used the same way Reddick was. Those would be good outcomes. 

I don't like it but I haven't studied up on this draft class so I'm going to head to youtube today and convince myself that he's going to be the next Kyrie Irving.

I really take what Morey says at the presser after drafting a kid with a grain of salt. He’s never going to say well we didn’t want to keep the pick cause it’s a $4 mil against the cap on a kid who’s likely not a major contributor as a rookie and we couldn’t get any great value for the pick due to being a poor draft class. but we like him and hoping by year 3 he can be that. Just saying he gassed up Jaden springer when you go back and read his quotes. He also established how they liked springer more than what they were being offered for the pick. That’s a staple of Morey during draft pressers. The more i think about his comment about "we were offered an interesting guy but a guy who’d they could revisit again in offseason,” the more it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a bad team offering a guy on a contract they are likely gonna buyout if they can’t move him. And at this point thought they tried to get some sort of value for him in a bad draft class

Frankly i think sixers leading up to the draft and to the time of the pick they were trying to unload the pick and get some future asset for it. I think they found out in a bad draft class it didn’t have the value to unload it and decided to take the best player on their board. 

Everyone who hates the pick will end up liking the pick just in time for him to get traded.

I do think McCain will be a useful player in the NBA. To what extent, I don’t know, but again, it’s the fit with Maxey, especially given all the minutes he plays. We’ll see.
 

So what are the 76ers needs tonight… Wing, PF, Center?

This is why I said I think they want to trade that pick. They were trying to trade out of that pick. I don’t buy Morey’s bs at his presser. You love that kid that much the pick is in immediately. The thing is they likely don’t want a kid who’s gonna be the 11th or 12th man on their bench as a rookie and nick nurse won’t play cause he’s young (council played when guys got hurt or blowouts) making $4 million taking up that cap space when they know he’s not going to help them win next year and maybe not in 2025-26. i think they’d prefer extra space to add guys that can contribute now. 

Which is short sighted

Forgot knecht and desilva are already 23
