Worst case scenario he can always coach

bust

Getting those Andrew Bynum minutes on the 76ers lol.

 

[RipCity32]

What the fuck happened to Bynum haha. 
 
This sucks to hear though. I like Embiid.

Maybe this forces the Sixers to reassess who they draft coming up.

This report is vague, a setback? I need more specifics.

 

[buzzy]

Could miss entire season.

 

[RipCity32]

Think they take Kristaps now? Assuming Okafor doesn't slip to them.

I still think the idea of taking a Euro that high is stupid, if he doesn't have experience playing against premiere US talent

Who was the last Euro big that went Top 10 that didn't bust?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Probably Valanciunas

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And Alex Len is too young to call yet I guess

 

[bosoxlover12]

Len is definitely too young

And both had no impact in Year 1 (Len was awful, Jonas didn't even play)


Taking a Euro at #3 over Mudiay/Okafor/Russell is just stupid as hell imo

 

[CameronCrazy06]

How many teams really care if they have an impact in year one?

 

[elcheato]

Stereotyping euros is equally as stupid. If a guy can play, he can play

 

[CameronCrazy06]

All Euros can play, that's not the question. It's whether or not they can handle the physicality

I just watched DraftExpress's video on Porzingis
 
To me, he showed to be a blend of Mason Plumlee and Nikola Mirotic, but not nearly as good as either
 
 
 
He has the range of Mirotic, and spaces the floor similarly. He also has similar handles to Mirotic -- not great, but isn't awful
His post vision reminds me similarly to Plumlee, as well as his approach to rebounding, although not as intense as Mason.
 
 
My biggest take on Porzingis is his size and lack of physicality. He seems to shy away from contact, and that's versus other thin Euros. How will he do versus someone like Julius Randle, or any other NBA big.
 
 
 
He's a stretch four. Not a PF, not a SF. He's not quick enough to be a SF, and he isnt big enough to be a PF. He's only being considered this highly because he is 19 years old, and that he might develop. But from what I see of him, unless he gains 30lbs and can play bigger, he'll never be a legitimate starter.
 
 
Not a chance I'd take him over Towns, Russell, Okafor, Mudiay, Winslow, and Cauley-Stein. My guess is he'll go #7 to Denver, next to Nurkic.

adapting the euro style and our style is still a huge question .
