I mean if two players are on the same tier, I'm drafting the guy I have more intel on 100% of the time as long as the intel says they are worth the pick. Why would you do otherwise?
He's a 21 year old hitting 42% from 3 at 5 attempts a game. There are like 3 guys in this year's lottery that will ever do that.
People who just want to give Brice away are morons.
I don't care about the 21st pick except that we use it to move up to the mid to late lottery using other assets like the Lakers pick. I like the players there a whole lot better than what we can get at 21. I feel like giving up the 21st and the Lakers pick is the equivalent of getting a 3 year...
Then Philly should have gotten the 2nd pick. They did not. Taking on a broken player for a very good player is worth a lot more than moving up 2 spots for a player level we could get at 5. I'd struggle with giving up the 21st. More draft capitol is a non-starter.
They get to swap out 3 years of dead contract for an all-star? Yeah, that's worth the 3 pick in a 2 person draft. I'm not even picking up the phone for a trade back.
Draft "intel" coming from the clubs has a good percentage chance of being purposely misleading. Agents as well because they ae trying to create a market for their teams. The best intel is who has worked out for what teams or has NOT worked out for which teams.
Rutgers got boned in the transfer portal. they literally had 2 really good freshmen and a bunch of JUCO level players. All of their actual decent players bailed for whatever reason. BYU got Malwot Mag from this, so it worked out. . .
If I remember correctly there were some concerning medicals on Cam as well as he bombed his interviews and workouts. I don't see Ace as having the same problems. People are way overblowing Ace's "problems."
Or, option 3, he 18 years old. If I were 18 and set to make millions of dollars (and had probably banked a couple million previously,) I would have been unsufferable if you put a mike in front of my face. Probably still would have been unsufferable dirt poor as I was. Guy is a teenager.
I'd submit that you have no idea what the Sixers are going to do and your evaluation of Bailey is likely flawed. Do you know Bailey, have you heard him speak morenthan a 15 second clip on a message board?
What you say may be true, but there really isn't any evidence of it.
Meh, if they wanted Ace, they certainly wouldn't say so because there is a very large lane to jump up to 3 and get him. You can't believe rumors about what teams are thinking because they are almost assuredly lying to you.
