 What if the sixers end up with the first pick and take Jabari Parker. Then, the pelicans get the 6th pick which would got to the sixers and the sixers take Marcus Smart. Anyone like this combination if it happens? You would Michael Carter, Noel, Smart and Parker

[Ebown5Participant]

 If we got the first pick I would take Embiid. I love Parker, but I would take wiggins and Embiid over him.

If we were lucky enough to get the 6th pick I wouldn’t want Smart. I would take Exum or Randle if they were there, or would probably go with Vonleh if neither of them were.

Smart is a point guard primarily and he isn’t a great shooter so I’m not sure that he is a fit. If we have the 10th or 11th picks and he somehow slips that far he may be worth a shot.

[TunjipooParticipant]

This POSSIBILITY COULD happen: Jrue Holiday is out for the season, wins are going to decrease for the pelicans but to my at worst they will be the 8th pick so at that position Exum will likely be gone so Smart will have to be under consideration also the first pick there are many possibilities. if we draft Jabari first or Wiggins then someone like Vonleh will be complementary with Noel. So if we have a core of MCW/ Parker or Wiggins I prefer Parker/ Vonleh/ Noel that is a great core for the future. I LOVE EMBIID

I would go Embiid with the first.  Noel would actually be better defensivly at PF and the combination of Noel and Embiid would make it really difficult for anyone to get easy buckets inside.  With the 6th pick you would have to take someone who could spread the floor…  I would go with LaVine, but Hood or Harris might be safer picks.  No question that squad would go towards the top of my league pass list.

 MCW and Noel are apart of the core. So I would actually pick Wiggins and Randle hopefully to fit with them. There are other 4’s that will be good NBA players in this draft but an athletic, good shooting 3 is harder to come by. In general I think Embiid would be the No. 1 pick but in Philly’s case I would opt for Wiggins even over Parker. Noel becomes a wash if you get Embiid. They could also benefit from the Canadian market not that far away. 

I would pick Wiggins ( I know its unpopular ) or Parker at 1 and Randle 6 or Gary Harris at 8,9 or 10. If you have MCW and Noel then you need shooting every else. Randle may have defensive problems but Noel on the weakside should help. Plus Randle’s offensive prowess is yin an dyang to Noel’s only dunks offensive skill set. 

I think teams will learn from the difference in combining JohnWall and Beal or Kyrie and Dion Waiters. Fit is so important and finding a back court mate to fit MCW one of the most important decisions the Sixer’s will make. A tough defensive shooter like Gary Harris would keep the defensive identity the team wants to create.

I don’t think the Sixer’s would pick Marcus Smart even if he was the best player available because of the fit with MCW.

 No way. Carter-Williams and Smart just dont fit with each other. There will be many as talented players as Smart from 6 through 9 who would fit way better than Smart. With PG,SF and C covered ( Carter-Williams, Wiggins or Parker, Noel) they will be looking for either a SG or PF. I think that they would love to have Randle ( if he slips ) or Vonleh. I see them as perfect building blocks to this project. Great character guys fitting well to Noel

 

 It can be more complicated if they wont be picking in the top 3 or even in the top 2 ( if Embiid stays ). Than I see them taking Randle with their own pick and either Hood, Lavine or Harris with the Pelicans pick. Great shooters from the 3point line. MCW has great size for a PG which makes it easier for him to find shooters in corners after a pick and roll. It could work very well.

 

  I dont see what’s the point in drafting Embiid. I see that he has scary potential but he plays the same position that last years pick ( Noel ). I dont have a problem with people ranking Embiid over Wiggins and Parker but as for the Sixers he should be a way better prospect than Wiggins and Parker to consider drafting him. For me he isnt. I think that a team need will decide which one of them will be the 1st pick. If the Sixers would draft Embiid their next move should be moving Noel. Trading a talent like Noel after he wasnt playing for such a long time just doesnt make any sense.

[NeggedFolyfe]

I like the pair of parker and smart two winners their will power and aggressiveness are off the charts  I don’t see how smart and mcw cant fit together the sg position is one of the weakest in the league I think smart will be ok at the 2 if you have parker for the half court.

Noel and Joel would be great back in the day front courts didn’t have much jump shooting some had no offense they just had brusiers.If Embid slips you could take  a chance on him but also I always draft ahead next years draft is a big mans draft the sixers plan is to be back next year and get a good talent why draft a big this draft when next years draft is full of bigs and one will slip. So smart and parker would do for me if not for anything else the leadership they offer cant be matched in this draft.

[hubhubParticipant]

 Why Smart and MCW? The answer is very simple – spacing. This is a very important word in today’s NBA. You just dont see many succesful starting 5 with 3 bad shooters in them. I know that MCW and Smart will improve in that department but I dont see the point in drafting Smart if you could just go with players equally talented and playing the position of the 76ers need. The next thing is that 2 dominant ball handlers in one lineup isnt always the right recipe for succes ( ask Cavaliers fans ). 

[NeggedFolyfe]

what position do the sixers need to fill in the top 10? their going bpa..smart and parker offer intangibles no one else offers and talent. westbrook,rose,jason kidd all recent gaurds who nobody thought could shoot at all but developed shoots.spacing I think Carter Williams will become a good shooter and I also think smart can also become one he hasn’t beena spot up player in his life he was always the focal point of a defense pairing him with parker a make him so much better .

 

and if you ask cavs fan they a tell you their front office have been screw up since drafting LeBron their no reason they draft good once every 8 years

 I dont think they are going bpa. They have their future point guard and they have to assume they have their future center so I think they will be looking either for a 2,3 or a 4.

 

 For me decent isnt enough. You can see that most successful teams have at least one pure shooter at the guard spot. It just makes the game easier. It gives the bigs more space to work, it makes the pick and roll game so much more efective. Look what the Wizards did yestarday against the 76ers. They have very good shooters in Beal and Ariza at the 2 and 3 which makes their starting 5 very efective. It also makes Gortat so efective in rolling to the basket. The same can happen with either of the 76ers future big guys if they have good spacing. The next thing is that Smart isnt improving. For the second consecutive year he is a 29% 3point shooter from a shorter distance than the NBA 3point line. I just dont see that working well. I think the 76ers will take Hood, Harris or even Lavine ahead of Smart. I’m not saying that they are better prospects than Smart but they just make more sense for the 76ers.

I actually think MCW and Smart could work together but unfortunately neither one of them can shoot so I wouldn’t even try it. They’d be a dynamic defensive backcourt though. I’d go Parker and Randle. Your frontcourt would be set for years with Noel. The Sixers will still probably be a lottery team next year so you can get your SG then. Or go free agency since they have so much cap space.

[MopgrassParticipant]

 If they get in the top 2 picks, Jabari Parker is a great fit for them. I think they need a go-to scorer. They still have Thadeus at PF for a year (sometimes SF). If they wanted a PF, they’d want a PF that can score (to pair with non-scoring Noel) and I don’t see a lot of 4’s at the top of this draft who can hit the 3 ball… except maybe Randle, who’d be a good pick instead if they slip to the 4th pick.

They do need a SG that can hit the 3. That brings up Jabari Brown, Markel Brown, James Young, and Gary Harris (if the last two get their shot on track). Exum is a PG with no 3 shot and will be gone. Lavine is interesting, though. He’s really a PG, but has an outstanding shot. He can really run and he would be great for the 76ers frantic pace.

Still, I would draft Marcus Smart and trade him. I think that’s where you’d get your value. You know there are some teams salivating over him.

[burgessfourParticipant]

The options will be exciting.

1) Trade down to 2 or 3, with the thinking being they’ll take whoever (Wiggins or Parker falls to them). To me this would be Hinkie’s preference. Obviously it’s just a question of what someone would be willing to pay to move up.

2) Take Embiid and trade Noel. I will admit someone else posted that on this site a week or so ago. Again, the question is what could they get for Noel.

3) Take Embiid and keep Noel and let it play out ?

I don’t see them staying at #1 and just taking Wiggins or Parker.

I like 1) above. Lets’ assume they get either Wiggins or Parker with their first pick. At that point they need a PF and SG. With pick #6 I would love Randle to fall to them, I just don’t think it will happen. Perhaps they do trade down from #1 and take Wiggins or Parker, then turn around and use whatever they got to trade down to then trade up from #6 to get Randle ? I agree with the many posters who think they really need a pure SG. Maybe I’m dreaming but I think with picks 32 (Jabari Brown?), 39,44,45 you draft 2 SG’s and hope one is the guy.

Projecting in the NBA….i think Randle is only slightly more dynamic, but size and arm length-wise, can someone explain to me the difference between…

Thaddeus Young and Julius Randle in the NBA?  

Both are athletic guys that do the same thing, very efficient downlow. You guys see Randle defending 4s better than Thad or struggling exactly like he does?

 

I like the comment that Embiid needs to separate himself.  Right now he’s come back to earth a little bit.  

If Noel can get out and guard the shooting 4 (the Dirks), you take Embiid and play them side by side.  Embiid can do it all offensively if he’s the next Hakeem, so you run your offense through him and have Noel crash.

It would really help Noel, who doesn’t stand a chance against bigger centers….have you all seen his legs?!?! 

[burgessfourParticipant]

The difference is size – according to espn Thad is 6’8″ 230, Randle is 6’9″ 250.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Thad but he can not guard the bigger 4’s, he just doesn’t have the size.

I hope the Sixers don’t trade Thad. In fact, they may have to keep him around just to get to the minimum
cap number next year. That’s how good they are cap-wise.

If the Sixers somehow come out of this draft with Wiggins/Parker & Randle, Thad is a great guy to have around for match up’s. He would be ideal as the first guy off the bench for both forward spots.

 I could see the 76ers taking Embid if they had a top pick and he was available, but I highly doubt they’d draft another point guard in the lottery unless they were trading him to some other team. I just don’t see the 76ers passing on Embid just because they have Noel, Hinkie knows size is hard to come by and its never bad having two rim protectors.

That being said its also not hard to imagine the 76ers taking whoever they rate highest regardless of position thanks to Hinkie’s analytic background. The only postion I imagine Hinkie not taking in this years lottery would be point guard because MCW has been impressive to say the least.

Between Wiggins, Embiid and Parker, none of the 3 is a bad choice, but, each leads to an entirely different second pick. Assuming Embiid is considered the top player and the 76ers get #1 overall,if they want one of the other guys, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them "talk up" Embiid, make a trade and still end up with the guy they want at #2 or #3. Hinkie is very much about maximizing asset value.

However, the thought of "Sampon – Olajuwon 2" with Embiid and Noel wouldn’t be terrible… Both would need to work on their offense, but, Embiid does appear to have a better offensive aresenal at the present.

If you took Embiid, you’d have to draft an athletic shooting guard who could keep up with the bunch, but, with a great outside shot. Someone will have to open up the middle. Is Ray Allen available in this draft?

If you took Wiggins, you feel like you just locked down the SF position for the next decade. You need a pure shooter, at SG, and in this case, it’s even ok to go with one on the shorter side if he is the best fit because Wiggins and MCW would allow this player to cover the shortest matchup between the 1, 2 and 3 spots.

If you took Parker, I’m not sure if he’s a stretch 4 or a slow 3. Because of his offensive ability, I do believe he’ll be an all-star for years to come, but, would need a good rim protector (Noel) behind him for him to be successful overall. What would work best for him is a tall SF to compliment him as a short PF. Can I get a Kevin Garnett? 

In any event, it all depends on the first pick… at this point, to me, it’s undecided.

if wiggins and parker are going to be dynamic scorers in this league why not take smart who was a sg going into college and he may not be the best shooter but he sure is a scorer we have seen slashers excel in the league  monta ellis/Dwayne wade/lance Stephenson /turner.

He is the best sg in the draft why pass on him? Hes the most consistent sg in the draft why pass on him last year he could have went number 1 in the draft why pass on him? remember every body had questioned about victor hitting more then 1 three a game in the nba he showed ppl he can shoot.

Brett brown his self says players can learn how to  shoot it isn’t his biggest concern noel has improved his mid shot so much when I look at the sixers warm up.

 

I take smart I like joel and randle and would love to have him but I feel like since smart stayed a year we love the freshmen and you guys are under valuing smart lets say he improves his shot THEN WHAT YOU GUYS PASSED ON A GREAT PLAYER look at derozan all star almost traded and slipped in draft because ppl said he cant shoot.

sixers can get another SAFER high upside  BIG next year

Its rare you get  1 let alone two  sure fire safe HIGH UPSIDE PICKS  if im the sixers this puts us on the right track im taking parker and smart their no doubt in my body those 2 cant lead and win the pacers have the best record in the league and field how many "great" shooters? I’ll wait. Memphis could have made it to the finals if they had a ok shooter  or a wing scorer but they got far without either at the sg or bench outside quincy a career bench player.

7 bigs and we know other players are going to move up

sixers can get another SAFER high upside  BIG next year

Its rare you get  1 let alone two  sure fire safe HIGH UPSIDE PICKS  if im the sixers this puts us on the right track im taking parker and smart their no doubt in my body those 2 cant lead and win the pacers have the best record in the league and field how many "great" shooters? I’ll wait. Memphis could have made it to the finals if they had a ok shooter  or a wing scorer but they got far without either at the sg or bench outside quincy a career bench player.

taking a look at McDermott for the 2nd pick. Would be a great floor spacer, open for MCW kick outs and outlets from Noel. Would love to see him in a Sixers jersey.

But I do agree with the sentiment that Smart and MCW would not be a natural fit together. Two point guards who need the ball in their hands isn’t usually a recipe for success.

That is a healthy list of bigs for 2015, I say if the Sixers get the #1 pick they trade down to 2 or 3 depending whether
they have a strong preference between Wiggins & Parker.

im saying the sixers should use this to their advantage why rush and take a big to match with noel this year when you can get a big next year at discount. one of the last BIG men drafts was when favors and cousins came out demarcus slipped to 5th and Monroe slipped to 7th  sanders went 15th. Some one will slip we seen andre Drummond slip a few years later.

What im saying is we should take smart and wait on a big next year.

I’m intrigued by lavine but I need to see more. I love randle to if smart is gone and lavine isn’t checking out

you either go randle or swing the fences on exum ( I feel like moves on uncertain players make and break gm and franchise but the sixers have 2 picks and can afford to )

I cant wait to see the bigs of next years draft.

I agree, with so many big men potentially coming out in 2015 they should be able to get one almost anywhere in the lotto. That does amount to a discount. I’m also intrigued by Lavine. Smart is probably a safer pick. I would bet on Smart and MCW being able to figure out how to play together. If MCW was a big ego guy I might not think it could work, but MCW is incredibly humble, mature beyond his years. He seems like a guy that just wants to win above all else.
