Jackson to the Raps is something ive thought made alot of sense for a while but I'd be surprised if he's still on the board there after the tourney and combine.

What do you think of Jonah Bolden and Monte Morris? I still find it hard to believe these guys won't wind up in the 1st

 

[Reggie]

So Dennis Smith Malik Monk or DeAron Fox wont end up on the Sixers?

They have to make their stock off their workouts. Their tape alone won't get them up there. They have to outperform their peers and some guys have to slip. All we have are some meetings and the combine. Now teams can arrange private workouts and keep in mind, maybe some guys return to school (Deadline is May 24)

Monk isn't impossible, but at 3, it's hard to justify it. I also don't think they wanna put Fox and Simmons together

 

[I.V.]

Havent played video games since I was a teen bruh and I'm 35 now. Why you think everyone and their mama is saying Toronto should let Kyle go? Cause his game is not going to age well and he is not worth the max that's why. And if those young cats cant win another 12 games next year in a best case scenario of Embid and Simmons playing 75 plus games then your teams future probably isn't as bright as you think it is anyway.

I think Simmons and Embiid both play 75 games next season. Though, even if they just keep Embiid out of back to backs, he'll play less.

My point is, the team you described is NOT a 40 win team. And I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assumed you were a teenager, for thinking so.


I'm a trust the process, dude. So, I'm rooting for you though.

 

[AAKing23]

Don't get how so many people have the Sixers taking Monk over Jackson

In a league like the NBA unless you're on on the verge of contention always take bpa over need

Jackson is such a superior player to Monk u take him and figure it out later

Man I like both but Jackson is definitely the higher potential player

They did that with Noel, Embiid, and Okafor and they never really figured it out

So they cant up their wins 12 games after winning 18 more this season? I'm not understanding this if they have all of this supposed "young elite talent." Ok so what are two number 1 picks basically in Embid and Simmons plus an improved Dario plus whatever guard they sign/draft worth to you then?

 

[Wargames]

What's the odds Philly takes DS Jr if he kills the workout for them?

 

[Reggie]

Monk isn't impossible, but at 3, it's hard to justify it. I also don't think they wanna put Fox and Simmons together

Why with Fox and Ben? Cause of the jumpers I suppose? Either way they should think about taking a guard here cause I think Fox's jumper will improve and Monk could probably average 17 a game next year with Ben getting him the rock.

 

[prophecypro]

So the three most storied franchises in league history are in the top 3?

I like the kid Zach Collins but ain't no way in hell he should even go in the 1st let alone before guys like Allen, Tabb and swainigan. Collins had a nice game in the national championship but did anyone see him before that game. Kid got alot of work to do.

Lonzo, LaVar Ball react to Lakers getting No. 2 pick in NBA Draft

fukk Lavar

 

[Darealtwo1]

Word is that he ripped the fukk outta this workout and Orlando is playing it smart by keeping it low key and not hyping it up to the media. This is one of the guys that they want. It's either him or Malik Monk at the #6 Pick for them.
