People seem to think the 76ers are still going to be a bottom dweller, the Lakers also didn’t improve much outside of adding Ingram/Zubac/Deng/Mosgov

So what are the chances the 76er land the #1 overall player with their Own Pick while also landing the Lakers pick outside the Top 3???

Right now I see Justin Jackson and Dennis Smith as the 2 best fits for the 76ers at PG and SG, pairing up with Ben Simmons/Okafor/Embiid/Noel/Saric/Luwawu/Korkmaz/Grant

The Kings didn’t do much accept waste a draft pick on a C and sign Dion Waiters, we still have the right to swap picks with these dysfunctional Kings and anything can happen between now and the Deadline…So even if we miss out a top pick, we may luck out and land a higher draft pick Via Sacramento

So what are the Chances they land Two Top 6 picks?

Are the 76ers a lock for a Top 4 pick regardless of their improvement via the Draft and Free Agency??? (Not to mention Saric and Embiid)

Will the Lakers pick fall outside the top 3 via their improved young players in Clarkson/Russell/Randle/Nance and now Ingram and Zubac, vets like Deng, Lou Williams and Mosgov can help keep them in games too… I think they fall into that 3-6 worst team in the league range along with Philadelphia

Am I too optimistic about landing 2 more Top Prospects In 2017?

Thoughts on the potential fit of Jackson and Simmons at SG and SF? What about Smith Jr. at PG running pick and roll with Noel/Embiid/Okafor/Saric?

 If they have a shot at aquiring top talent sure. But as far as multi picks in top 5 i think they trade one.

 Bummer SL isn’t even done yet and Philly fans are trying to bank on two top 6 picks next year. Philly fans need to start hoping for wins not losses and top picks.

 The Nets, Suns, and Pelicans might also be at the bottom of the league. The Suns and Pelicans haven’t done a ton to improve this offseason, but some injuries kept their win totals down last year. The Nets should be terrible for sure and Boston will really enjoy a top 3 pick from them in 2017. I’d be shocked if the Lakers weren’t the 6th or 7th worst team. You just have to hope the ping pong balls fall normally. I think the Nets might finish last. I think you guys get the 2nd and 7th pick.

The 76ers need shooting to put around the guys they already have. I think Lonzo Ball and/or Malik Monk are better fits for what they need.

I think they need to find a shooting guard that can knock down shots, and a PG that can play off the ball and do the same. The 76ers are going to be at their best when Simmons has the ball in his hands, so I think they need to look for a non-traditional PG, similar to when they paired Eric Snow with Allen Iverson.

 This kid really impresses me with his floor generalship and tenacity on defense, and he has a nice stroke.

If we snagged him and Josh Jackson, who worries me a little.  He reminds of me of OJ Mayo, he has all the tools but can’t put it all together.  Let’s see he is still young.

Josh Jackson and De’Aaron Fox would be ideal.  

 

Don’t want Tatum, maybe I’d take Fultz….but thats it.

I would rather have Ntilikina than Smith.

And I think the more interesting question is; What are the chances that the Sixers are better than the Kings this up coming season?

 The Sixers fans need to just hope Embiid is sound and plays a full season, we can then see how everyone fits in. If Simmons does get the keys to the franchise as a point forward then good defensive guards who are potentially great shooters would be my long term draft suggestion for 76ers in 2017.

Luckily next year’s draft looks PG loaded so the 76ers if we assume they will likely be a lottery team again should have loads of options and there must be an increasing chance the Lakers pick comes over given they have made a few roster moves which should garner a slightly better season.

The 76ers have to improve but I’d say a target of 25 wins should be reasonable, anything above this would be a bonus.

Probably the same chances as landing Shabazz, Wiggins, Muiday and all the other previous no1 pre season high school kids that Sixers fans have made threads about in the past……

Honestly Justin Jackson would be a great fit. Josh Jackson obviously is more idea.

I can name at least 4 Aussie guys that will get drafted in the lottery before some of these over rated US cats.

These draft website mocks need to stop discriminating against Aussie players. 

Maker, Simmons are just the start of a new golden generation of Aussie players. The Aussie Centre of Excellence is a basketball factory. Teaches them how to be pros, not amatuers. 

Americans dont respect Aussie players, so thats why theyre sleeping on guys like Jack White. Even Duke fans dont even think hes making the rotation, which is lunacy. Best player on the team. 

Would be lottery if he was American.

 Im here hoping that Tai Webster (Nebraska), Sam Timmins (Washington) and Yuat Alok (Florida) can eventually get a summer league invite or better a spot on a d-league bench! But seriously Tai Webster is a legit NBA prospect just came back from Manila at the qualfiers averaging nearly 10 boards a game at 6’4"!

 You are drafting Jack White(not the Whites Stripes front man) over Jayson Tatum?  I don’t know Hype.   Also at least two of these gaurds will be studs and probably a wild card  maybe Sumner or Kobi Simmons.  I did just watch a little tape on White.  He has a nice all around game.  Would make Gordon Hayward proud.

 in the NBA the Sixers should porb focus on Scorers w/ those 2 Top 10 2017 pics

When I first heard they could actually make the playoffs & Still land two Top Lottery picks thru the Kings & Lakers 

I figured they would go for a Puer PG like Frank Ntilikina or Lonzo Ball

But after seeing Simmons & his ability at the Point – I think the 76ers should hope for a Josh Jackson & Dennis Smith Combo

or a Jayson Tatum & Markelle (who people are saying is Jamal Murray but WITH High Level Athleticism)

Who knows how all this will work out but the 76ers could have a Crazt talented team & w/ the New salary Cap next year they can Pay for All of them at Contract time….. Crazy
