NBA draft

[siamesedream]

I'm not a big fan of the NBA but I kind of like watching the draft. I hope the 76'ers take Joel Embiid.


He will either be injury prone and never get on the floor or the next Hakeem Olajuwon.

I want high risk/high reward for this draft pick.

[siamesedream]

Embiid!!

[siamesedream]

Sixers haven't been the same since Croce split

These shall be dark times in Philly, all around

I don't mind waiting, I'm going to try and trust the new ownership as they swing for the fences.

It would be spectacular if they hit a home run with Embiid.

What's with these guys?

They're winning too many games, this is supposed to be a lottery year.

[siamesedream]

Snap!

If they get the first pick it will be Okafor, why is Duke bad in Philly? I don't follow college hoops, but my memory seems to be of Christian Laetner's moment of glory.

My dad is excited about college ball this year because he's a Villanova alum, his moment of glory was watching Nova beat the Hoyas in Lexington.

I don't think MCW was a good player,and this team could potentially have 4 first round picks in this year's draft
Team Tank!

Velp, they lost to Orlando. Tanknado 3.

Oh myy.

[siamesedream]

Nope

They just got Nik Stauskas.

Okafor was a good pick, but 76ers still stink.

Okafor was a good pick, but 76ers still stink.

And an obvious pick. So glad that the Lakers didn't take him.

Obvious, until it wasn't. Okafor was the consensus number one or two pick until about a month before the draft, then you had all these general managers who suddenly thought Russell was better. I AM glad the Lakers outsmarted themselves and took Russell. I fear the Sixers would have probably taken Russell if they had been at number 2. They really wanted to get him.

You may be right.  I don't really follow college bball until the ncaa tournament.  I thought Okafor was supposed to be the consensus #1.  Towns really looked good in the tourney, and it was no surprise he went #1 after all was said and done.  Really didn't know too much about Russell as I didn't see him too much as Ohio State made a quick exit from the tourney.  I thought some other Kentucky players may move up higher.

Oak destroys Towns:

And Sixers lose 14th straight.

What happens first? Sixers win a game or Golden State loses one.
