It has nothing to do with being sharp it has to do with team needs

Good list though Bruins I'll just take Wiggins first.

Wiggins
Parker

nice list ,my sleeper pick to go earlier then expected is Andriean Payne

[LT Profits]

Top 2 are no-brainers

1. Wiggins
2. Parker

After that it's a crapshoot, I am not sold on Embiid at 3 with his fractured foot and past medical history

embiid with back and foot still going in the top 10 wtf

one year at kansas just 11 ppg i never saw him takeover a game

theyre talking about him like he was shaq coming out of lsu

[KRIT]

You guys really think Sixers will draft Exum at PG, when they already have MCW. Both are bigger PG's who can't shoot? Doesn't sound like a good fit to me.

Exum. Is a combo guard pg/sg but they are yalking about trading mcw .They really wanted Wiggins so a trade with the Cavs not impossible either

[teaserpleaser]

exum is better than sliced bread they say but I think he'll slip i'm excited that Lakers are projected to get smart or Gordon either way they're getting a stud most likely.

Wiggins
Parker
Exum

Embiid may go down to 6+. Could see him being a good fit for Celtics.

[KRIT]

Embid Under 5

Exum over 3.5

I think Sixers take Embid. Only thing that could scare them is that both Noel and Embid have injury histories.

[No coincidences]

Since when does logic apply to these shitty franchises in the Top-5?

[koch & balls]

im going with 1) Parker 2) Wiggins 3) Exum, booyah! Parker is more NBA ready than Wiggins and Cavs are dying to get back into the playoffs again.

This.

Parker-Wiggins... and Exum.

Rather a healthy Exum than a guy whose body is breaking down.....

Joel Embiid broke down after a 30 game college season......what happens to him in an 80+ game NBA season?

Why even risk it?

[bruins35]

parker must be thrilled to go to bucks rofl team is worst team in all pro sports

Easy. Exum over 3.5 +160 straight cash.

I think Sixers will regret that Embiid pick for years to come.

No way bro. He's the best player in this draft. Only thing they will regret is if he gets hampered with injuries. But you can't draft scared. If healthy, he will be special.

[DrStale]

Not even close, especially with new owners that actually want success and are willing to spend money. He also wanted Milwaukee to be close to home in Chicago. Do your research son.

Too big a reach at #3. With his injury history, he would have been a nice gamble later in the draft. Hell, don't the Sixers draft again at #10? I would have passed on him at 3, and if he was there at 10, would have been a nice gamble then. And if he was not there at 10, no big deal because he is too risky before then anyway.

[zizoudane10]

Would have liked to see Randle in New Orleans. Guy is a killer but lacks wingspan, that could be a problem defensively. Think Davis would have been perfect to play with him.

Lots of potential when healthy.
Since Sixers wanna tank anyway, not a bad choice to try it now. Test Embiid and Noel both for one season and decide afterwards. Can't blame them.

Zero percent chance he would have been available at 10. I can guarantee you that.

Then my last sentence stands, no big deal. You don't draft off of "potential" with a top 3 pick.

You can easily draft on potential if you don't plan to win next season anyways and instead just tank another year. They looked at his medical history and decided that it was well worth the gamble. Take him not and you're gonna regret it your whole live if he is healthy and a bomb. If he isn't healthy, not a big loss, because you didn't have to win this year anyways.

They wouldn't win this year anyway if they took the best player available at #3 (not saying I know who that would be, I am talking generically), but they probably would have been better off in the future. Sure Embiid could blossom, but he could also turn into the next Greg Odom. My point is you don't take a boom-or-bust pick that early.

I get your point and as you can see I wouldn't have taken him myself.
But even if he's the next years Odom, they would still find a team to take him regardless. If he is healthy and plays a good season - great. If he is healthy and Noel is healthy, too - they will have some nice trading options the following year.
What I'm saying is: If any team can take a boom-or-bust pick that early, it is a team like the Sixers that doesn't have to win in the absolute near future. And they would have had NO chance to get him on #10. So yeah, I do understand the move.

(don't like Gordon on 4 btw...)

[LT Profits]

Embiid may not even play this season. His recovery time is 5 to 8 months.

Sixers are fine with that, building for the future and I do love what they're doing. A lot of young pieces in place to be a contender in the East eventually and it doesn't look like the East is going to get stronger any time soon.
