Quote:Because the Sixers just took a player last year that sat the year....


You really think they want to do that 2 straight years? That would be moronic. Embiid will likely wind up an injury case career wise anyway. So, yeah, actually that does sound like something the 76ers usually, do, i.e. "stupid".


And the Pistons comparison is faulty. Monroe actually has an offensive game. Noel does NOT. Noel is essentially Dikembe Mutombo. You don't want that at the 4. It would essentially be Tyrone Hill.....and that only worked in that one particular situation.

If they think he is the best talent available and aren't worried about his injuries, they should absolutely take him. They aren't winning anything next year anyway, so I doubt they care if he has to sit out the year. What has the new Sixers front office done far so that has been "stupid"? Embiid has the makings of a good mid range jumper and the Sixers coaches did a total makeover on Noel's shot. All you need is one to be able to space the floor and they can work together.


I'm a Sixers fan and wouldn't be upset with either him or Exum. People think it would be hard for Embiid and Noel to work together, it would be the same with Exum and MCW. Both are really long and athletic, but neither has a reliable jumper yet. If they draft him, I wouldn't be surprised if Hinkie shocked everybody again on draft night and traded MCW for a top 10 pick. I just hope Wiggins somehow falls and makes this all moot.


Two top 10 picks, potential trades of Thad Young and MCW, and 5 second round picks. Should be a fun night for Philly fans.
