All this hype for a player on a team that's gonna continue to be treadmill status for the next 3-5 years. Y'all stay overhyping dudes on here :camby:

Even if Embiid never plays a game, the Sixers still have Noel(future DPOY candidate); Saric(top 3 player in Europe), top 5 pick this year, and the Lakers pick(top 5 protected this year, top 3 protected in 2016).

Not too mention they have cap space out the ass, and other 1st rounders(OKC and Miami's picks)
Sixers could possibly end up with Mudiay and Hezonja this year, then draft/sign a center next year. It's going to be very hard for the Sixers to NOT become a 50-win team in 3-4 years.

Again you're posting this JUST off potential with young players who haven't proved anything, let alone that they can win. I would be SHOCKED if they won 50 5 years from now. They might be .500 by then

What is the point of sports than a$$hole smfh. You go by potential rather its Duncan Jordan Lebron. You only hope to do it by having a plan

Breh Nerlens is a lock down defender right now at the 4.
This draft is very deep, it has 5-7 guys who can be AS, Okafor is a lock to be an All-Star player.
Brett Brown helped developed Kawhi on the Spurs, he's the current coach for the Sixers, and has help developed Nerlens and will develop their other high upside players.

I know you guys hate on Hinkie for getting his 2k franchise mode on, but it's hard for this to go bad when you have so much high upside players. If they don't believe me, look at the Blazers seven years ago, they became a perineal 50-win team with a surplus of talent(Roy; Batum, Aldridge, Oden, Rudy Fernandez).

An organization with that many draft fukk ups doesn't deserve to compete for titles. Idk why Bron caped for them.
Organizations go left on prime talent all the time...with that logic no organization should have a chip:yeshrug:

Nah, they aren't that far off from competing right now, they have the 11th best defense in the league (Worst offense in the league though), young squads usually suck ass on defense but this one just needs a little more offense to be competitive. Assuming Embiid stays healthy the whole year and they draft Mudiay or Russell, they will be getting more defense from Embiid in addition to offense and an offensive punch on the wing that they didn't have before. They could have a Milwaukee Bucks like jump next year, but they are definitely going to turn the corner in the next 2-3 years and show some major growth (if healthy).

they weren't patient enough ... Kyrie/Bron/Embiid would have been lights out for the league
Don't be surprised if some concoction still doesn't get mixed...I think cleveland will somehow get wiggins back...or a near quality product

why is Russel better than Mudiay?
clearly the better playmaker but i havent seen enuff of mudiay tbh...

but if Hinkie values athleticism then mudiay by far would be the pick...

safe pick is russel but mudiay maybe the superstar a la westbrook
