DRAFT SPECULATION/NEWS THREAD

Recommended Posts

The one year you don't want to try and win is this one. Wiggins, Parker, and Randle are the top 3. Then you have Smart, Gordon, Young, Harrison twin, and Exum. Any of the top 3 are better than the top pick in many drafts by far. The only thing Cho can do with 30 million is overpay middle of the road guys. Zero chance a big name player will sign here even if offered a max contract. WTF do some of you guys not understand that this franchise will never be a playoff threat if we can't get a legit star or 2? The best we can do if fight for a low seed in the playoffs and get swept. Doomed to never do any more than that. The only shot, and it is a gamble, is to tank and get one of the top 3 picks. Any of those 3 change this franchise from day one.

Again I say...Joel Embiid. This guy is going to be a star. Let him learn a few post moves from Big Al for a couple years and I think he will be the future of the NBA at C. He has tremendous touch around the rim, great bball IQ, is extremely fluid, and an already advanced offensive arsenal for his age. All this while only playing basketball for 2 years!

    • We're at a point where general and advanced stats are all in alignment.  On top of that, his record, measurables, observable play, everything is in the red.  There is nothing beneficial in playing him anymore.  He's not helping anyone.  Not the team, nothing.  It's like people are just not wanting to crush his dreams at this point, but that is grossly silly at this point.     There comes a time where there's really no longer a need to even debate, no matter the mental makeup.  That is right now.  It sucks because I get it, people have a soft spot for the underdog/small guy who seemingly does all the right things from a PR standpoint.  There's a vested interest for him to succeed. But he's just not working out.  It doesn't matter that he understands the game well or is a nice guy.  If he can't play QB at this level, then he just simply can't.  And it's even more emphasized coming off that Atlanta performance to do this on a national stage.  The nation (before they turned off the game), finally saw what we've been seeing.  No sustained drives, had 3 INTs gifting amazing field position; mustered 3 points... And when he finally hit a good pass to Tmac, there was so much bad before, you don't even feel good about it.  But it gives his staunch fans that little bit of juice to go off of.   He had like brief 2 moments in 3 years where we thought he may, at best, be the guy who just beat us throwing 3 INTs or Tua.  The rest was all Kyle Orton/Sean Glennon level play or worse.  This was never a good situation for him, from hiring Reich, only to ship off 1sts, CMCs picks and DJ Moore for Bryce.  The pressure that came with that, the college hype, the fans who have been so passionate about proving that he's some advanced passer.  The essays explaining how he made a simple seam route throw in stride a time or two.   There's too much of a sample size and nothing to come from it.  We legitimately feel like we're in the same rudderless spot since that 1st start against ATL.  "Wait, he was supposed to be awesome, that can't be it.  Must be other reasons..." and then week after week after week, it's the same roller coaster, song and dance.  The dancing is over.  It is all there, laid bare.   He ain't it.  Move on.     
    • Not running the ball when you have two good backs and letting little shitbird throw it around is insanity.
