Quote:I wanted Exum and McDermott. (with the Sixers #3 & #10 selections, respectively)


Exum's a better shooter than MCW, and a quicker/ smoother player as well. Higher upside.


I would have then traded MCW (after an Exum selection) and used the top 10 selection gained from that trade to draft someone else, preferably a 4 or a 5. (Randle?)

Won't argue the Exum point. Likely ends up a better player than MCW. I just wonder how true those rumors with the lakers were. Last I heard they wanted MCW and Thad or the #10 pick. Pretty steep.


McDermott would have filled a huge need for Philly, but it appears that Hinkie likes drafting lengthy athletic guys you can still mold instead of no upside guys like McDermott. Not that he isn't a good player.
