Another reason I think the 76ers will realize Ingram makes much more sense for them. Overall I'd still go Simmons but it's really close and for the 76ers I definitely think Ingram makes more sense as the #1 pick

Yeah I was gonna respond to that haha cuz I watched a lot of scouting on...

Yep agreed, don't see them taking Bender after looking at him last night (or Poeltl, looked at him previously), I actually could see a team with a top pick falling in love with Deyonta Davis' two-way potential but still more likely he goes late top ten (no later than 11). Maybe they'll...
I'm not sleeping on him, already did my work on him and he's got a prospect comparison thread coming and I already know who I'm putting him up against but waiting a bit to do that just in case I change my mind, looking at the other bigs in the class right now (Bender and Ellenson, already know...
Okafor/Noel will keep getting better (or at least they hope so) and they're also adding Saric and Embiid, both question marks so idk the front office's confidence level in them but again not like they're barren
Time to start mocking, I've already looked in depth at Simmons and Ingram so imo it'll be Ingram to Philly Simmons to LA, but no idea what the Celtics will do... time to start looking into exactly how good Dragan Bender is
Also gonna be posting some more head to head prospect comparison...
BPA is close/debatable, neither one is far enough ahead to automatically be the #1 pick regardless of which team has that pick. And Philly is the team with the greatest difference in fit for Ingram over Simmons, so in a close debate I think that decides it - that's what I was saying, not that...
to clarify, he is legitimately the best prospect for their team taking into account (but not solely basing the decision on) fit with the rest of their young talent - I personally still think Simmons is #1 but it's close enough that I could see certain teams going with Ingram over Simmons and the...
well damn zero jumps at all
can't believe that "process" actually paid off for them
welp for Philly I think Ingram will definitely be the pick, I'd go the other way for most teams but the difference in fit for them is pretty large... so LA, congratulations on Simmons (or trading Simmons)
yep 100% I was so ecstatic when we got Drummond, thought we had no chance
can't wait to see who this year's steals might be, gonna do some looks at individual prospects once the lotto is behind us
no, it's not saying he'll be a star player that was my exact point
Ziggy Ansah was not a sure thing, he was a boom or bust pick. Thon has all the physical tools (and rudimentary shooting and shot-blocking skills) but he has to learn to see the game, positioning rotations etc - imo he has a...
and I was saying they shouldn't, they need more than role players and youth, that was the point of me saying CP3 isn't getting any younger. imo they'd be better off keeping their core and trying to build the bench other ways
Yeah he's a HoFer, he has the rings and the All-Star appearances and the stats, if you're talking about skillset he was a top big and a very unique one
I don't think he's first ballot HoF but I'd be shocked if he doesn't make it
