Unless you're Philly. Ha ha.

What's everyone going to do when Philly gets the #1 pick, has Embiid healthy, Saric comes over and they win a title in 4 years?

Who am I kidding? They're gonna suck for a long time. The Clippers of this generation.

Sixers TWolves in the 2019 Finals. You heard it here first.

Yes, and this was known by the Sixers when they drafted him (article with agent comments before the draft). It allowed him to fall a bit as teams drafting above were more interested in winning sooner. It fit the Sixers strategy since they had a longer-term tank in mind.

Their strategy was BPA regardless of position or immediate availability.

So the Jazz are gonna draft him in the top three? Or do they trade for another first after they win the lotto?
 
This year he won Turkish AllStar Slam-Dunk contest. He's just 18 years old.
He's natural born talent for scoring, his body is improving every year and his height as well. In the same time he has big problems on defending. Hope to manage it in the future.
Check it to see his athleticism.

It is clearly not that simple in the world of Sam Hinkie.

For the Saric draft story, it depends on who you believe. If you take Hinkie at his word, he claims that they chose Payton as BPA but then were enticed to drop back to take Saric plus a future first. So in Hinkie's version of events, you are incorrect, they did not keep the BPA at 10, they swapped the BPA for a lesser player and a future first.

Most people do not believe Hinkie's story, saying instead that he "gamed" the Magic and believed that Saric was BPA at 10. And, absent the Payton gambit, they would have taken Saric at 10 over Payton.

It is inconceivable that Hinkie did not factor in the fact that their future assets (picks) would be more valuable with a "stash" prospect versus a player that would help them "win now"
 
Wait we're having a discussion about the lottery and it's about who we take if we stay put? BLASPHEMY

I actually like Timothe Luwawu more. He is very similar to Furkan, but I think Timothe is more athletic and could help translate into being a better defender as well. Check him out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msd4OQimjDI

Also, how can you not love those pink and green jerseys???
 
Natural scorer but needs to muscle up bad. Usually criticized for the shying of contact and defensive effort. Awesome dunker. got the hops. I think he has the talent to play better D and bulk up a little.
 
Do we have any chances of moving up besides the .6% chance we have at #1? Or are we already guaranteed the 12th pick?
