Jagsfreak27 44 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 The only player out of that 4 that I would be shocked to see drop to 4 is Wiggins. If only because he fits with every team. I don't see any chance of anyone in front of us picking Exum unless some desperate team comes up to get him right before us. I prefer the Big 3 to Exum anyway, so I would be ok with it.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 If Parker falls to 4 then we get one of Payton, LaVine or Ennis at 12 is my guess. I'm thinking Gary Harris Parker and Harris Exum and young (with a dipo exum backcourt I think you can gamble on young's offensive potential) Embiid and Ennis (with Embiid protecting the rim you can live with poor Ennis defense) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicblue 315 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 That's the issue though. A young 7 footer with back injuries is scary. Like potential we look back in 5 years and he's not in the NBA scary. That's drastic but it's a possibility. But no one knows for sure Parker and Wiggins go 1 and 2 or who bucks take at 3. Nothing is in cement at all. Bennett going 1 last year proves how little anyone ever knows. I know I may be in the minority, but I like Randle a lot so I wouldn't be upset with him either and don't think he can be ruled out. He's saying Embiid will be gone bro...and its an injury, not injuries. I'm not going to keep trying to sell this to you or anyone, but top 4 is all that mattered or ever mattered in my opinion. None of these guys are immediate impact players in terms of actually making a team an immediate playoff threat, unless you add Lebron to Cleveland with their annual #1 pick.

I doubt we will ever end up seeing a first from the Sixers. Those are some pretty weird terms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicblue 315 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 So Embid and LaVine in 14? Kind of has a nice ring to it I don't know about LaVine and its #12 so I guess we'll see. I just think it's important to understand that #4 is a great place to be in this particular draft, its a position that allows for movement in any direction in a draft with no consensus #1 and plenty of potential future all-star talent. Literally anything could happen with us drafting #4, to me it's the best spot for us (outside of #1) in the entire draft and I'm a pessimist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Literally anything could happen with us drafting #4 I was saying like LaVine and Embid in 2014. Like a poltical campaign. I'm not that behind the curve here. And I agree, now that the emotions have cleared I'm okay with 4 we have no clue who will be there or not (minus Wiggins). So game on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlugNickel 7 Report post Posted May 21, 2014 Why should it concern us, the fans? We will literally never have access to his medical records, so how could we be concerned? We have no means of knowing what is going on with his back. The team WILL know after extensively researching the situation, and that should be assurance enough. I feel pretty confident in saying that our front office is no longer the type to cut corners. Assuming his back does check out, Embiid has phenomenal potential and is already pretty damn good. I'm having trouble understanding how people are rating him on a tier lower than Wiggins/Parker/Exum, but I assume much of it has to do with medical concerns and not his skill level. Agreed. Without knowing his medical in full details as fans we have to judge by what we have seen in game and what we believe will or will not transfer to the next level. To me he is the better prospect than Wiggins and Parker. People saying this and that about Exum but don't know as much about his game as they do the college kids.
