A little 76ers bashing

[Smokeeye123]

I would trade lives with a sixers fan 10 times over. Promising future, in 2-3 years they could be the next okc

The sad thing is, they don't even have an elite young talent besides Embiid and who knows if hell ever become an all star or if he won't be injury prone. Nerlens Noel really isn't a  basketball player he's and athlete at this point who has a loooooot of work to do. Plus they don't fit together. MCW is already24 I think and doesn't strike me as a high level point guard down the road. Saric is an elite International player but let's see how he translates to the nba as an undersized 4 and or unathletic 3. Don't think any talent they currently have is a Westbrook or Durant type mega star talent

Well next year they will be assured another top 4 pick so they have another shot of getting their franchise player. It's all about odds. For every Anthony Bennett your team messes up and drafts you're going to have a Kyrie Irving in there.

[Moranis]

Per-36 is not a projection unless the player's played fewer than 36 minutes.  Moranis' numbers are across 1049 minutes, not a projection.  One year having only 5 minutes only means it plays a miniscule role in those per-36 numbers.

It is very fair to argue that Sims' numbers are across a smaller sample than Zeller, with Sims spending most of that being handed playing time for a team in desperate need of production from anywhere, though.

fair point but most of Zeller's time was on god awful Cleveland teams as well.  Zeller had a lot more playing time as a rookie than Sims, but his minutes have been going down while Sims have been going up and generally when your minutes go up your per minute production goes down.  The last two years their total minutes are fairly close (Zeller has about 100 more, because he played in a lot more games last year, but by the end of the year, Sims will have played far more minutes the last two years of the two, if he stays healthy).  If Sims had been the 1st round pick and Zeller the undrafted player, Sims would have played ahead of Zeller in Cleveland.  He is a better rebounder and passer and neither is much of a shot blocker or an offensive player.
