I don't really see where you are going with this. You're telling me Fox can defend PGs but can't really shoot? Is that really an upgrade for Philly over PJ?
idk, I think
PhillyHinkie did
such a great job aquiring picks that they should keep swinging for the fences. you undoubtedly watch more college bbal than I do (since I watch essentially none), and most of the top-10 picks will work out this year, and if Philly had the #2 pick the pressure to pick Fultz/Ball would be great. but aorn, i think that Markannen has the most all-star-EV of the players in the 3-10 range. otoh, that may be wildly wrong.

I don't think Russell is terrible but I hate randle. So I'd rather gamble on the upside of the 9th pick. But if we pick markannen then I'm going to be pissed.
Am I on the right side of that argument!
lol-wat - you have the #9 pick and you would be disappointed to draft Markannen?
Am I reading this right?
That's a take up there with the idea that the Celts can trade their top pick for Embiid. And the Celtics slappies saying that they wouldn't do that ever for celts-raisins.

I wouldn't be surprised if Colangelo does something stupid like trading the Lakers unprotected pick next year for Russell + some marginal asset.
. this would not be a surprise
