I would love Randle. Wiggins and Parker are obviously my first choices, but Randle and Burke would finally give us some actual leadership on the team. And he's a pure 4, unlike Kanter and Favors who are both kinda tweeners FWIW.

Randle & Favors would form one of the most athletic front court in the NBA. Not the most imposing, but very athletic. My dream lineup is still this:

Favors
Kanter
Randle
Hayward
Burke

Plenty of length. Plenty of scoring and shooting. There's slashing. Burke can run pick and roll with any of the big 3 all day long. There's enough 3pt shooting too with Burke, Hayward and Randle.

This is good too, except Randle's athleticism is not elite.

Be there.

I will be watching..... make a game thread
 
I'm looking at today's schedule and there's something's not right with the ranking... Wisconsin is #4, Wichita St #8 and KU is #16???


WTF????
 
Teams like UK and KU are loaded with talent but very young talent. They're expected to lose games early, drop in the rankings, but by February/March be playing well enough together to be the best teams in the country.

Obviously the rankings have more to do with W/L records and s.o.s. than predicting the finish.
 
Nice spin move by Embiid... Seems to me he's already right up there with Favors in terms of his offensive ability/repertoire/instinct/potential..

What do you think of the Embiid & Favors pairing in the front court? With all the stretch 4's out there in the league today (and Favors inability to guard them) would that combination work?

I think it'd be killer. Favors can guard stretch 4's, just gotta be motivated to do so. I think Favors can guard just about anyone. I'm sure Embiid can guard them too. Those two defensively would be sick. Might need one of them to put on more size to guard those brutes on the block however. Or Kanter can maybe do this, idk.

Would be dynamite having both those dudes on defense

Would definitely need some perimeter shooting, obvi. On a positive note, you needn't be overly worried about perimeter defense.. just stay right up on your man and funnel them into Favors and Embiid.

Word

This lineup offensively is a different story. Embiid looks like he has killer potential being a playmaker on the block doe

Pretty sure we can net a 3pt specialist out of the GSW pick anyway.

Embiid/Kanter
Favors
Hayward
Harris/Burks
Burke

That would definitely fit an Indiana-contender type team built on defense and inside scoring.
