Who wants MCW?

And why reset the clock at PG when you already have a decent young prospect at the position(MCW did win RotY and is putting up some nice numbers, bad team or not)

I say the 76ers need to draft Karl Anthony Towns, he Noel and Embiid would be a very good front court in the future, Saric could be an X Factor too…

The real trick is finding shooters at Sg and Sf, I like Wroten and McDaniels but they if they don’t vastly improve their outside shooting they need to come off the bench…I like the Idea of signing Gerald Green or Harrison Barnes if they become available this summer, more so we need a few cheap veterans to help the young guys out…

In short, draft Townes in the top 3, find a starting Sg in Free Agency(Gerald Green or Affalo?) and bring over Saric to play Sf/Pf…sign a veteran or 2 to help round out the team…

MCW-Wroten
Green/Affalo?
Saric-McDaniels
KAT-Noel
Embiid

 I’m not sure what to think of MCW because the team is historically bad. However, he is the best player they have. He is 23yrs old, and the team isn’t going anywhere anytime soon with the flat at tank job of all time going on there. Regardless of trade, if I was him first chance I get I’m out. Who knows if or when the team will be competitive.

It’s almost like he’s still unproven because the players around him aren’t as good as the 11th and 12th guys on NBA benches…  His percentages stinks along with his turnovers…  They almost have to take Emmanuel right?  Now that I think about it…  I’ll probably would just draft Okafor.  Why not have a 3 headed monster at the 4-5 positions?  Hopefully Saric is a legit 3 that will make this thought legit…   If you can’t get Okafor, trade MCW and draft Emmanuel…  It’s really no one else to get for this team if Okafor is gone…  Towns doesn’t provide what Okafor can bring you…

But why would you trade one of your best assests for a marginal return? You’d have to strike gold at somewhere between 12-15 to find a point guard that is BETTER than Michael Carter-Williams.

 There was rumours that Hinkie was looking at what he could get for MCW last summer in the draft as it is reckoned he has a buy low sell high theory. But he didn’t get the sort of offer he was after – likely a top 5 draft pick.

Hinkie could well draft Mudiay and the 76ers run a two PG offence as a number of NBA teams do or run a 3 man main guard rotation including Wroten

 He is a good player that is getting better. He still has a ways to go in certain aspects, but he is a baller and a leader. His form on his jumper is nice, so I expect that he will eventually get better at that. His poor decision making is largely a result of doing too much and not having good enough teammates.

As a Sixer fan, I would rather take Okafor or towns over Mudiay, and just keep MCW as our starting point guard.

I just watched the Nike Hoop Summit again from a year ago:

I am totally fine with these options if the Sixers went these ways.

1)  Trade MCW for 12th to 15th pick.  Draft Mudiay (watch the hoop summit game he was by far the best guard in that game, complete player, who has the base tools to improve his game, he is a much much better Tony Wroten).  At 12 – 15 you probably pick up Mario Hezonja as your SG.  Croation kid, plays with fire, would ball out with Dario Saric.

You’d have Mudiay (an upgrade over MCW), Hezonja, Saric, Noel, and Embiid.  You miss out on the big man.

2)  Draft Towns.  At PF he fits best with Embiid and Saric.  You can still draft Hezonja with Heat Pick.  

You’d have  MCW, Hezonja, Saric, Towns, and Embiid.  This is the best team on paper for the NBA.

3)  Substitute Towns with Okafor.  I think Okafor lacks defensively.  But if he can potentially be Tim Duncan-esque with defense and rebounding, I have no problem IF he falls to the Sixers.  In the Hoop Summit game he wasn’t very impactful unless the ball was in his hands though.

You’d have MCW, Hezonja, Saric, Okafor, and Embiid.  There would be holes defensively especially with Okafor.  

I like option 2 the best.  Being that Noel to me, is NOT a starting big man, I think its very tough to pass up a bigman and replace MCW with Mudiay.  There’s too much potential in the other 2 guys.

 Wroten, EM, MCW, Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo are all good players in the right situation, it just so happens there all in the wrong situation. There is no reason to stack guards that can’t shoot on the same team. They shouldn’t dump MCW for EM but instead find a guard that can shoot. If a PG worth a top 3 pick doesn’t exist this year that can also shoot then just wait to you can draft one. It takes at least 4 to 5 years for guards that can’t shoot to develop a jump shot and even then its a crapshoot when you have a crap shooter.

For every Mike Conley and Tony Parker (guys with broke shots that got better) there are a Rondo or a Pablo Prigioni and Kidd that won’t shoot consistantly until there 30’s.

He’s only in his 2nd year and is giving them great value from an 11th pick in a weaker draft…

This year seems like a BPA type of draft class…I really like the idea of drafting KAT or trading down and picking up a wing like Stanley Johnson or Deangelo Russell

 Philly’s main draft pick in 2015 will be perhaps the most discussed topic on here unless the Greek Freak puts in another burst.

The point raised about Philly needing quality perimeter shooters is a very valid one nd with heir cap space, Sam Hinkie has the flexability to look at some decent FA’s. The older top FA’s want to be win now but younger FA’s could well consider a team like Philly if the offer was good. I don’t mean Hinkie overpaying for good players and putting them on all star money but identifying his needs and selling that to the relevant players.

Plus if the Philly young core does progress they would suddenly become a legit FA contender.

I’d be very interested to know if there are any budding elite shooters near the top of the lottery at SG or SF in the next couple of drafts as Hinkie could also target them.

MCW is a solid player, but he should be the 4th option on a championship team. His shot is erratic and he has problems separating himself from his defenders. I’d like to see him in a role where he can focus on perimeter defense and passing. (Similar to Rubio who I see as a 4th socring option as well).

 MCW is on the same page as Kemba and Ty Lawson, as they look better than they actually are.

 Isn’t MCW just like Jason Kidd was early in his career, lots of stats and lots of missed shots.  If the 76ers find some quality shooters in the next few seasons then a big point guard like MCW will not have to shoot as much, and will improve his shooting percentage a bit.

But if the 76ers do want to trade him because they have a point guard they want to draft, there will be teams with the shotoers to surround him with, and he can get steals, assists and rebounds.

Very good points about MCW, he is probably not a star PG who can lead a team like Westbrook or a returning to peak form D-Rose. But in the current Philly line up he is the best player so is perhaps taking too many shots. The coaching staff need to look at that and perhaps try to make him more a pass first and creative PG, this will only come with time, Kidd and Nash weren’t the creative masterminds from day one.

If Philly get MCW’s distribution and creative game improved then it will be a great help as he’ll be able to create for/support the future players they draft/sign/trade for.
