I was afraid Isaac was too skinny and would be injury prone. I was 50% right on my picks working out. I was very high on DSJ because I didn't need another year to know that EP wouldn't shoot 3s or defend well. If Ayton can learn to play D he has the potential of being a game changing dominating big. If we ever climb out of the cellar we are going to need a big body to put on Embiid if we want to get past Philly in the playoffs. Wendell Carter could be a surprise big. At 260 and growing he could be a monster. I think his numbers would have been a lot better had he not had so many other great players on his team. I don't like Porter. My experience with every single person I know that had back surgery is that it is going to be a factor throughout his career. I don't see him being any better than Mario is right now. Good bench player but not worth a lottery pick. Besides if we are committing to Isaac and AG drafting one of the PFs would be stupid even if they are the BPA. If Doncic lives up to expectations he could be what we all hoped Mario would be. I like Young but like others I am concerned with his size. I think Sexton is more NBA ready. That being said I see our FO going after one of the 6'6 PGs, SGA or Shake Milton with a later pick. All I know is that there is no sure pick and we DO need to get rid of Vuc somehow. We have to start having defense at the center position All good points. But I just dont see why people think sexton has a better ‘nba body’ than Young. They both have pretty much same height and weight. When it comes to SGA, he is listed at 6’6” with 185 pounds. Young is listed at 6’2” at the same weight. How is SGA NBA ready over Young when he is skinnier? I think a PG at 6’2” is more than ok. Most of great PG’s in the league are 6’3 or below( kyrie, Westbrook, lillard, CP3, Dennis Smith Jr, Curry, among others) what young lacks is athleticism and quick speed which he can work in the NBA offseason. I am not really afraid in drafting Young. He is still young, he likely will grow more and surely will increase his weight and quickness once he gets into the NBA. What I like about him is his court vision and ability to score. He can also make others better. sexton and SGA can also do that but are not at the level of Young yet. Imagine Young playing next to that Kentucky lineup... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just looks puny compared to other people. I think our FO likes the long and athletic type better than Young or Sexton but we shall see. Sexton may weigh the same as Young but he plays tough and aggressive on offense and also plays tough D compared to Young's almost zero D. Shake Milton is 6'6 210 which might even be more appealing. We also have Jevon Carter within reach of our 2nd round [picks at 6'2 205. I think (hope) that we end up picking a PG with one of our 3 picks. It doesn't have to be the best one, justa good one.

A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 OK so here's where we are at with the tankathon. If we don't win another game we finish 3rd worst with 21 wins unless Phoenix or Memphis goes on a tear and beats the other tankers, then we finish 1st or 2nd. If we beat Atlanta we finish 4th worst at worst If we win 3 games we probably finish 5th at worst If we win 5 games we probably finish tied for 6th at worst Chicago (24) should beat us and then the Nets twice so potentially = 27 wins minimum Sacramento (24) should beat Phoenix and Memphis so = 26 wins minimum Phoenix (19) will finish 1st or 2nd worst they have us, Dallas, and Sac left. If we let them beat us = 20 wins Atlanta (21) only has us left in the bottom dwellers sweepstakes if they win = 22 wins minimum Dallas (22) has us, Sac, and Phoenix and should beat us and Phoenix = 24 wins minimum Memphis (19) only has Sac left so they shouldn't win another game = 19 wins minimum Brooklyn (23) has us, Phoenix, Memphis, and Sac and should beat us all = 26 wins minimum We are at 21 wins so if we lose the rest = 21 So here ya' go if we all tank it out: Memphis 19 Phoenix 20 Magic 21 Atlanta 22 Dallas 24 Brooklyn 26 Chicago 27 If we were to beat Phoenix, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, and Brooklyn Phoenix 19 Memphis 20 Atlanta 21 Dallas 23 Brooklyn 25 Chicago 26 Magic 26 So there you go! We should finish between 3rd and tied for 6th worst so at least we have the security of knowing we should have a top 7 pick. Earlier I was thinking we'd win too many games and finish 7-9th. There is still the possibility that NY doesn't win another game which sticks them at 26 and moves us to 27 wins if we beat them and Phoenix, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, and Brooklyn and picking 8th. I'd be OK with 3 meaningless wins and picking 5th but I hope that we go the other way and pick 3rd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
