If Horford does leave in free agency, our frontcourt will be in shambles. Do you think this will embolden Danny to swing for the fences on Bol Bol's potential?

No. It is a wasted pick. Guy has no motor and is hurt.

If not available go for Hachimura, or Doumbouya

Certainly our draft goals must shift, and may have to include taking a chance with him.

PJ Washington. He has Horford potential.

Embiid was a lot better than Bol Bol.  Bol Bol's offensive skill is tantalizing but his strength/weight issue and poor defense is hard to get past for a center.

No Bol Bol. He looks fine playing against kids, but he's going to get pushed around.

Washington would be a good grab. Then maybe trade 20/22 and move up a bit and get Bitadze.

Nah we’re set at SF...honestly I think Bol Bol may be a SF in the NBA. Not a good one because he’s too slow to keep up with SFs but he is way too weak to body up PFs/Cs.

Out of curiosity if he that much better than Thon?

Kabengele and Bitadze from the Draft.

Get Vucevic.

Trade for Vucevic.

Rather have Washington than Goga. Goga and Bol Bol look like busts.

Lack of height seems to be the problem with Washington.
