Man, if Philly gets Bates Diop or Thomas in the 2nd I’m going to be cranky.  I’m fine with willaims, but they shouldnt be there this late.

We needed someone to defend Embiid.

Then Robinson should have been the pick.  Kid with the size, talent an upside who could turn out to be better than Embiid (yeah, it's a bold statement but I stand by it) but his downside is being a substandard Olowokandi.  Guess the risk assessment was too much for Danny (and especially the Wycs') to handle.


His upside is DeAndre Jordan...

What a steal! And we wanted to trade up to get him. Can’t believe Lakers took Wagner.

Replacement for Kuzma who will be dealt in the off season for another addition via trade to create a Dream Team that Magic wants to build with his huge war chest.
They don't really play alike at all though. Not a fan of Wagner at all

Yeah uh, there is no way Mitchell Robinson is ever a top 2 center in the league.

Nice for them. But on the whole I'm fine with the moves the 76ers have made, doesn't scare me  ;).

Lol Rozier really FaceTimed Ainge when we were on the clock to get the scoop on who we were picking to make a prediction on the B/R show 😂

This guy is athletic.

Kind of Jaylen Brownesque...just bigger. Got some legit thump.

Can't score...at all, which isn't the end of the world considering the team that just drafted him.

Agree....and karma will be that female dog biting them in the ass for dumping a Mikal Bridges....plus I feared them more with Bridges. Dumb move.

As an OSU alum I have watched every game he has played. I cannot believe he has not been picked. Great person off the floor, has his degree...just can't believe this

Dallas (Doncic), San Antonio (Walker) and Boston (Williams) look like winners in this draft.
