Exactly what I was thinking. I see he's projected to go late first round in mock drafts, can't really scoff at that value assuming he worked out for you and showed legit basketball skill

Upshaw is crazy. C-R-A-Z-Y. But a good enough liar to get through the interview process.

See this is what I was asking about earlier. Besides the reported failed drug tests, is this guy just a lost cause? Just another Reeves Nelson type guy?

I just watched 12 minutes of offense and defense highlights from Embiid at Kansas. My god I forgot just how skilled he is. And he can actually shoot the ball. Him and Noel with Russell to kick out to and Covington on the wing can be really special. Really wish I knew why we traded KJ McDaniels for nothing though...he would have fit in perfect next to those four.

I'm more excited to see Embiid than any of the incoming rookies.

Man if Okafor Towns and Embiid all turn into future all stars or better the C position in the NBA will be

I think Stevens is going to be a great coach but this is ON point. No way dude has done anywhere near enough to be appointed that status already. Like Ty said, the tide turns so quickly in the NBA regarding your status as a "great" coach or not. There's been countless examples and it won't change anytime soon. In 2-3 years if Celtics aren't in the ECF or Finals Stevens will receive the same treatment every other coach faces.

I don't give a **** about narratives or hot take slapstick coaching labels.
Brad Stevens is a great coach. You don't need to see him reach the conference finals or whatever to reach that conclusion.
At the very least...he's in the argument for best in-game coach going right now.
And if you listen to pretty much all his current and ex-players...he's not going to have any issues getting superstars to "buy in" when/if that time comes for them.

Not gonna lie...I was rooting against y'all to have a come up like this with the extra blatant tanking. Not going my way so far though.

Vogel still a good coach, he succeeded with a way better roster though.

Vogel is solid but anytime you lose your best player and your roster didn't make improvements it won't be easy to win.

Word is that Upshaw has an airport full of baggage
Last rumor I've heard about him, involved him stealing laptops for crack or something of the sort

I think Russell will be best player from this draft. If I had to put money on who will be a bust, I'll go with Mudiay and Kristaps. The top 3 I think will all be good though, with Russell potentially being a superstar.

1st round talent but I cant give a potential crackhead a guaranteed contract. 2nd round pick maybe.
Also I hate to do this but he sounds like a complete phony in interviews, completely disingenuous. i hope im wrong.

Imagine how unstoppable a 7 footer on crack would be?
He can play 48 minutes and he's rebounding and blocking everything.
Just make sure all the players lock up all their jewelry and you got a baller on your hands.
