June 27Jun 27 I dont know much in this draft at all. The last guy Ive had my eye on hopefully makes it to us in UDFA as a possible Yabusele replacementEric Dixon from VillanovaPre-Draft AnalysisStrengths: Dixon is a wide-bodied power forward who had a wildly productive season, leading the nation in scoring as a sixth-year senior. He's making an obvious leap as a shooter.Weaknesses: His 6-foot-11.5 wingspan, average physical traits and inconsistent defensive impact are limiting factors.The verdict: Scoring prolifically from the perimeter at 259 pounds this season, Dixon worked himself from a reluctant shooter into the most dynamic shooting big man in the country over the course of his college career. His ability to rediscover some of the physicality and toughness he demonstrated earlier in his career as a rebounder and defender in a more minor role would be highly beneficial in carving out a post in the NBA. -- Jonathan Givony

That’s who I was hoping they’d take.Broome just makes no sense at all. Maybe some team coulda used his hustle off the bench. We already have an old school undersized big who cant shoot but is at least athletic in Bona. We werent the team that needed a flyer on Broome. We were a team who needed complementary pieces for a roster trying to compete now. We could have used the stretch 5, or the hyper athletic defensive wing that were available.
June 27Jun 27 Considering where I am at with Morey, I can not accept the "It was a 2nd rounder so meh" argument. Ive seen it on realgm and in here. The problem is that Morey has proven to be a fraud in Philly, but his ONE redeeming quality is that he has drafted really well.Ive wanted him fired for a few years now, but objectively, he should have actually been fired after last season for the trainwreck that it was. Especially compared to expectations that were set. But even so, I didnt mind still having him around for the draft. If he is going full ree in the draft now, then hes fresh out of redeeming qualities.

Morey said he wanted to be more athletic, so doubling up with the 2 most explosive athletes in the draft would have made some sense. At least he would be doing what he said he wanted to do.He appears to be like other past 6ers GMs at this point- without a plan. Or without the competence to carry it out.

June 27Jun 27 Well, draft is over. Who are the UDFAs we should hope to see brought in for summer league? Other than Dixon, I know no one.Who is the elite recruit who fell by the wayside somehow a la Justin Edwards last year?

Being undersized and underathletic that becomes much tougher to do in the NBA.
June 27Jun 27 My only hope for Broome before he is off this team fairly quickly is that he shows Joel Embiid where the hell the damn low post is.

June 27Jun 27 Well, theyve signed a potential stretch 4/5 albeit a longshot. Milicic is pretty decent but seems to struggle with consistency.The signings so far. Hunter Sallis G Wake ForestIgor Milicic Jr. F TennesseeIzan Almansa F PerthSaint Thomas F USC
June 27Jun 27 Sixers pickup Igor Milicic, PF/SF, Tennessee on Exhibit 10 deal.The 2025 draft is saved. (Morey still needs to go for the mess he has made.)Milicic is the steal of the year.We will follow Igor Milicic and Hunter Sallis, SG, Wake Forest closely in the Summer Leagues.Who else will the Sixers send?

Sallis and Milicic were 2 of them, and seem to be the only 2 worth watching so far. I want Milicic to stick. Hes a skilled player who looks decently athletic and has a really nice stroke. I dont know what plagued his consistency last year but the stroke should be a reliable one.
June 27Jun 27 I would imagine they will also send Justin Edwards and Bona again. Not sure about McCain if he is ready to play yet.
June 27Jun 27 Asking CoPilot AI:how can the sixers sign guershon yabusele?The Sixers can re-sign Guerschon Yabusele—but it won’t be easy. Here’s the situation:🧾 Contract Status Yabusele is now an unrestricted free agent after a strong season in Philly, where he averaged 11 points, 5.6 rebounds, and shot 38% from three. He signed a one-year minimum deal last summer, so the Sixers don’t have full Bird rights to offer him a big raise2.💰 Cap Constraints Philly is tight on cap space. They can only offer Yabusele the taxpayer mid-level exception—about $11.6 million over two years—without triggering a hard cap. If they want to offer more, they’d have to use the non-taxpayer MLE, which would limit their flexibility to re-sign other key players like Quentin Grimes.🧲 Competition The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly very interested. They have a clean cap sheet and could offer Yabusele a much bigger deal—potentially up to $60 million over four years. Plus, he has a strong connection with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama from their time on the French national team3.🗣️ Yabusele’s Take He’s open to staying in Philly, saying: > "If it’s with the 76ers, I’ll be more than happy… If you’ve got to be somewhere else, I’d be happy, too. I just want to be on a team where we compete and have the same goals”.So, for the Sixers to keep him, they’ll need to either:Convince him to take a smaller deal for continuity and role,Or clear cap space to make a more competitive offer.
