Sixers needs to draft Kris Dunn if they get the 3rd overall pick in the draft again.

As a Sixer fan and basketball fan in general I'll say this. Any draft where Kris Dunn is considered a lottery pick is an awful draft. He will be a decent backup or middle of the road starter at best.

I agree with Kurple about Trimble. While I'm not in love with his game either, I think that he's better than Dunn. That being said, I wouldn't be happy drafting him third. This draft really is Simmons, Ingram or bust. I'm sure that there will be some surprises in there somewhere but I am underwhelmed with the "talent" in this draft.

I think Brown could be a good fit and fill our seats, no?

Best case scenario is win the lottery with their pick and get the Lakers 4th overall pick. Draft Ben Simmons and Buddy Hield. Then trade Okafor for CJ McCollum and sign Harrison Barnes.

McCollum
Barnes
Simmons
Noel/Embiid

Actually, I don't want the Lakers pick this year or the Heat pick. There's no talent in this draft so why waste the picks? The Lakers will suck again next year for sure and if Miami finishes poorly this year and their pick doesn't convey, then it's unprotected next year too. A backcourt of Hield and McCollum may not really work that well because they are too similar.

I dunno man, he can be exciting but he's just not a good basketball player. He's exciting when he dunks and does something athletic but he is a bonehead. He can't shoot, he can't shoot FTs and he turns the ball over. He's an athletic wing with not a lot of skill. I like his athleticism but that's about it. He doesn't have a good feel for the game which worries me. I wonder if he could develop into a decent player but I'm just not sure.

Blazers can net Okafor for CJ? Is that how disappointing Jahlil has been? Are Blazers ready to go for thugs again?

If they don't get Simmons or Ingram, watch them draft Skal Labisserie.

I heard he's staying one more year.

He could also develop into a good perimeter defender. That's a big area we need to address.
But, that's just the back up plan. I want Ben, he's the best fit and a generational type player.

That's what I'm saying about this draft. Who wants to waste the third pick in the draft on someone who may or may not become a good perimeter defender. Yes, the Sixers need that for sure but it just shows how pathetic this draft is. Simmoms or Ingram or nothing. If you can't get either of those, get creative and get something out of the picks.
