Yo this Syracuse player is pretty rad.


He's at the draft in the stands and looks smooth as fuck. This guy is great if he can recover.

What's basketball-gaf's opinion of the sixers taking okafur? Personally I really wanted Russell but I guess some one gets traded for more picks, kind of tired of waiting to see it all come together but they do have a lot of young talent and picks stocked up. Thoughts?

"Trust the process" any other opinion is wrong.

I feel like they could have benefited more from a guard like Mudiay.

I mean these are the point guards on Philly's payroll right now:

Tony Wroten
Isaiah Canaan

So I dunno. Okafor is a beast though. Maybe they've lost confidence in Embiid.

And I do but it's hard getting attached to anyone on the team. Hinkie can preach all he wants about players not being "assets" but how can I buy a jersey when he traded MCW (which is still the right move) after him being rookie of the year and got the love of the fanbase. I love the all business approach I have faith in the plan but when can I actually want to watch this basketball team play?

Hinkie is still in rebuild mode. You take best available, not for need. Okafor was arguably the best of the draft, and they got him at #3. Was perfectly reasonable.

According to a NBA executive, Kevon Looney was red-flagged with a degenerative back as well as a hip issue. May require surgery down road.

Yikes.

That's a shame but it explains why he fell. Really liked his game too. Reminds me of Tayshaun Prince.

Cs pick has to be a big. Wood, Mickey, Holmes, Upshaw, Christmas, in order of my preference.

I've seen Mickey linked to them a few times in this spot.
