Whoa. Who the heck gonna fill their roles ESPN? That's nuts
Also, if you leave ball open there's no reason he's not draining jump shots
Off the dribble or getting a shot over a defender is yet to be determined

That would be dope but is there any chance of ESPN being savvy like that

Yahoo is in worse shape than ESPN. Woj is basically Schefter on PEDs. He'd be one of the only NBA guys they'd actually need.

Well, damn. I just read rumors that ESPN is planning to bring Woj in
Woj, Mannix and Givony are instantly as good or much better than anyone covering basketball at ESPN

Hold up now that I think about it wasn't last year's draft covered by like SAS, Jalen Rose and some others that seemed like they had absolutely no clue about any of the prospects other than the foreign reporter guy that hops in to talk about the foreign prospects?

Nah it was Rece Davis, Jay Williams, Jay Bilas, and Jalen. Wasn't too bad honestly. Makes sense to have more of the college guys doing it anyway.

It was pretty sub par. You had Wilbon on the main stage with Jalen Rose. That's awful anyway you look at it
Bilas and Williams did fine I guess. I can't expect much from ESPN anyway

It's a damn shame they don't travel around year by year. They do that for the NFL Draft don't they?
Smh
The last NBA Draft that was held outside of NY was 2000 in Minnesota. A terrible class

Him and Wilbon were absolutely awful. They didn't have a clue who anybody even was outside of the top 5 or so picks.

True, and I think they do understand the importance of spacing and shooting. But my point was just about the draft, I think of all the teams that need a primary playmaker like Lonzo the sixers aren't it. They have Simmons and could benefit from a great not just good shooter in the backcourt.The Sixers surprisingly were actually in the upper half of the league in three point shooting this year if I remember correctly, the year before that they were like last in the league. Their assistant coaches and Brett Brown should get a ton of credit for developing young players. They want Dario to be a good three point shooter and get more comfortable with his outside shot so they basically demanded that he shot at least 5 threes per game this yearand Embiid's shot developed like a MF'er in his time away while he was injured. Even Noel developed a pretty decent midrange shoot when he wanted to shoot, and Holmes was knocking down threes this year. I'm hoping they've had Simmons shooting like a billion threes a day in preparation for next season.
Good points. But when it comes to draft picks, I am a firm believer of choosing the best talent over the best fit (unless you have two starting caliber centers and then draft a third), and as B Sox said, as high as we all were on Monk, he really brings nothing to the table if his shot does not fall.
If the Sixers end up 3 and have a chance to choose between Ball and Monk, I think it's a no brainer to choose Ball.

Remember that D'Antoni was the assistant coach midway through last year. I think what Brown and the Sixers learned from his time there had a major effect on their performance this year. His time there should not go overlooked.

This is way early but I'm surprised there's no mention of zion Williamson in this forum. His mixtapes are easily the most impressive high school joints I've seen.
