The NBA Draft Thread

3 is too high for Monk no doubt. I don't think Fox or Jackson are the best fits there either but it'll be hard for them to pass either up. If Philly can trade down with Sac, I'd pull the trigger.
 
Yea philly is set up well. Any player can be a bust but damn its gonna be tough for them to mess this next couple of years up
 
If Sixers draft Monk at 3, then they clearly think he's better than TLC or Furkan.

Embiid, Simmons, and Covington watched Monks workout today.

Yeah if they take him then they gotta think he's on a whole different level than those two. Furkan is pretty damn good right now though and TLC just averaged almost 20 PPG the last month of the season as a 21 year old in his rookie year.

I honestly don't even know if I have a preference who we pick because I like all of these top players in this draft. I don't want Frank though...somebody else can bet on his potential.

Just watched glimpses of Monk's workout with the Sixers, his form is so clean! If they do decide to take him, I hope that Bryan C can Hinkie his way to that Kings trade and take him at 5.

they were posting it all over their social media

I am starting to think he might be the pick barring a miracle and Fultz is at #3
 
Speaking of Monk and shooting guards...yall gotta remenber that D Waiters was recently drafted in the top 5 so dont be suprised if Monk jumps in there :lol:
 
This year, draft talk is circulating even more than usual, especially at the top of the draft. NBA general managers, scouts and agents are putting the puzzle together, and I'm on the phone with them all day, every day, trying to sort out solid information from rumors.

Here are three major items from GMs with strong track records of truth-telling at this time of year, involving the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 pick and fast-rising Duke star Luke Kennard.

Celtics might pull a surprise at No. 1

Markelle Fultz has been atop my Big Board since version 2.0, and his only real challenger most of the year has been Lonzo Ball.

But Josh Jackson, who was No. 1 on Big Board 1.0, has emerged as an intriguing option for the Celtics and team president Danny Ainge (even though he canceled a workout with Boston this week, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman and Marc Spears).

"I've picked Danny's brain for years," one GM said. "Jackson is an Ainge player all the way. Tough, athletic, long, versatile, elite motor. If he's keeping the pick, Jackson just to me, far and away, is the most Celtics-type player for them to draft. From all my conversations with them, I'm convinced they'll take Jackson No. 1."

He's correct in that Jackson fits the prototypical Celtics mold. Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown all fit that description, and all were first-round selections by Boston (Rondo via trade).

Jackson has yet to work out for the Celtics, according to his agent, B.J. Armstrong, who said that Jackson has worked out twice for the Lakers and once for the 76ers. Jackson is also scheduled to work out for the Suns before the draft.

"We have great respect for Boston and Danny Ainge," Armstrong said. "That's a championship-caliber organization and Josh brings the things that I know Danny values. He can defend his position at an elite level. He can rebound for his position at an elite level and he can pass for his position at an elite level. All the championship-caliber teams are looking for players who can do those three things. And I know they want winners.

"We're in dialogue with Boston. We're very respectful of them. They have the No. 1 pick and can select whoever they choose. We just need to see how things play out over the next week."


:lol: :lol:
Ohh how I am going to miss Chad Ford on ESPN - and so are agents.
 
Lemme start this by saying I'm a UK fan and I love Monk but....

Is 6'3 Malik Monk with a 6'4 wingspan a better NBA prospect than either of these 6'7 shooting guards with 7 foot wingspans?

I don't know. Maybe? I mean why can't they coexist with Simmons being the primary ball handler even if they slot him at SF or PF. Also, Saric has the playmaking skills to have a Draymon Green type of role as a system playmaker.

These are just scenarios but a lineup of Monk, TMC, Covington, Simmons, Embiid cam work with a bench of MVP Mcconnell, Furkhan, Sauce, Saric, and Holmes.

Monk and TMC can sit at the wing position without needing to be the primary ball handler.

I am not saying that Monk should be the pick, but I am saying that it could work.

Edit: It just hit me I named 10 Sixer players who are actual NBA talent :wow: and I did not even mention Justin Anderson, Henderson, Bayless or Jah.

Hinkie's term is truly over.

Furkan is legit. Forgot all about him

Won the Best Young Player Award this year over Doncic and Frank. And he's practically begging to come over this year, it's just up to the Sixers whether they think he's ready enough. He's been in Philly training with the team for the past week.
 
Sixers shouldnt be worried bout fit yet, they not that good and aint close to contending for anything...take the best talent and figure it out later, this is what Hinkie sacrificed for :lol:

And if these players turn out to be good and actually have value/ a market round the league then it will be no problem making moves when its time to to...gotta hope for the opposite of Oakafor's situation

Plus didn't Hinkie actually want to draft Kristaps over Okafor and got too much kickback?
