I don't want Ingram going to Philadelphia. Okafor ending up there was unfortunate enough.

We are 2nd last in the East, I am supposed to feel hopeful, why does it feel terrible?

Arvydas Sabonis' son, Domantas, declare for the 2016 draft.
He averaged 17.6 PPG, 11.8 REB as at Gonzaga this past season as a sophomore.

I think they'll trade him, but his stock is only going to be worst after all the reported trouble he caused and the injury he had. I haven't paid attention to college bball at all. I only hope the best for little Sabonis.

Definitely has issues on the defensive end but it's not like that's impossible to work on and improve. Hopefully he ends up anywhere else, rotting on Philly is no way to start a career.

Idk what the collangelo's will do, but tbh I think philly has a much more solid foundation of assets than most of the bottom feeder teams. The exception is Minnesota, and that's probably it.

Hopefully he ends up anywhere else, rotting on Philly is no way to start a career. His body language at the beginning of the season where he dropped the 76ers jersey is most likely on the radar of Colangelo. He never wanted to be here in the first place (at least at that time). Even if he did change his mind, that's a BIG concern.

They definitely have assets/potential but that can't be much of a consolation to a highly touted rookie. Losing hurts. Their 4 strongest assets are all frontcourt players at the 4 or the 5 (unless I'm forgetting someone), the (probable) best of which hasn't played an NBA game. They have assets but I have no faith in them turning those assets into success, and will lack faith until they actually do something.

I think they were a lot better managed than the other shit teams before they fired Hinkie. Idk about now though.

If they create something out of this strategy, he's vindicated, but if they don't, that's on him.

Whether they succeed is still largely based on luck, especially when you're not a team like LA or Miami that is a destination.

Fair or unfair, the success or failure of Philadelphia following this tank rebuild is going to be put on him.

thon maker has attempted to declare for the 2016 draft, nba needs to rule if he is eligible. Deemed eligible. I bet he shoots up the draft boards from his workouts. Some GM is going to fall in love watching an athletic, 7-1 guy, handing the ball and shooting 3s.

A 7'2" Chinese player is entering the draft. sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--chinese-center-prospect-to-enter-draft-170617166.htmlZhou Qi, a 7-foot-2 prospect in the Chinese Basketball Association, will declare for the 2016 NBA draft, league sources told The Vertical. Zhou has the potential to be a first-round selection, and NBA front-office executives have closely monitored the center’s development in his two seasons with Xinjiang. Zhou will submit paperwork for early entry and start predraft training in the United States, sources said. Zhou, 20 and listed at 210 pounds, averaged 15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks this season for Xinjiang, which had a 30-8 record. Zhou is No. 27 in the latest DraftExpress mock draft.

Dude looks like an Asian Manute Bol. I hope it works out for him because I'm not expecting him to be as much of a success.

Still wish Jamal Murray somehow drops to Raptors.
If that doesn't happen, there should be enough high-potential PFs left.

Really unexcited for this draft. Didn't pay much attention to the prospects this year though.

Really good upperclassmen. I think this ends similarly to 2011 where the freshman where whatever with some talent, but it was the soph, juniors, and seniors that carried college basketball. Many of those guys turned into good pros (Klay, Kemba, Morris twins, Kawhi, Faried, Reggie Jackson, Jimmy Buckets, Parsons, Isaiah Thomas). And some of those underwhelming, highly touted, freshman found their groove.
I know there was debate like there always is for story purposes, but I thought Kyrie was the obvious #1 at the time. Like this year, I think Simmons is the obvious #1 and it will show once they get in the pros. Tho Ingram is a better prospect than Derrick Williams (and I liked Williams.. back when I thought he could shoot). After that it wouldn't surprise me to see players like Dunn, Sabonis, Valentine, Hield, Johnson, Jackson, and Yogi emerge as quality pros.

Patrick Ewing Jr. Tim Hardaway Jr. Glenn Robinson III side note Larry Nance Jr. (career to be determined, but Im think he'll be like the other 3)

Steph Curry. Klay Thompson. Devin Booker. Jabari Parker.
Maybe the key is don't name your kid after yourself.
