Would be amazing if Embiid falls to us. Prefer Embiid and Parker to Wiggins.

I have no idea about exum but I'd rather him than Parker if we do BPA. Just not enthused on Parker. He's kinda doughy and he can't guard anyone.

They drafted Bennett last year #1. They're going to draft a PF. They deserve to be awful.

Very fair point, but would anyone here NOT have taken Kyrie and Nerlens at the time? There's more to their awfulness than blowing lottery picks

ETA: My bad, Pelicans took Nerlens of course; still point remains they don't always blow the draft pick

If it's going to be Parker at #3, I would not be averse to trading down and taking Vonleh. I think he'll end up as the more valuable pro in a few years.

I don't want to trade back. Take the guy you want at three. Trading back rarely works out in the NBA draft (Kevin Love is the famous example of it being a home run, but it's usually not good).

Assuming his back his okay, Embiid's ceiling is outrageous. The guy played volleyball until sixteen when he started playing basketball. And he already looks fluid out there... And I just don't trust Wiggins. He just seems to float around out there too much for my liking. They can coach him up, but he just isn't aggressive enough out there for my liking.

That's pretty much what i did because I thought they still put the original teams logo on there.

Yeah I think that was the first year they did that.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.
