... a much better team than the Sixers.

Not saying much even 3 years from now lol
Don't sleep on the 76ers.  For as impressive as Wiggins looks, Embiid was thought to be a "vastly superior" prospect by scouts leading up to the draft.  They compared him to Hakeem seemingly without sarcasm.

  Are those the same scouts that told you there would be 6-8 franchise cornerstones in the draft?

Wiggins is legit, another guy I was wrong about.  I thought he was Jeff Green but he is going to be a real good pro.  I think Minnesota has a pretty bright future because they will probably lang another top 5 pick this year.  With their current roster and the potential to add a Okafor, Towns, Mudiay etc...that's pretty promising...

Here's an article comparing rookie Wiggins to rookie LeBron for those interested. It's on ABC, but it's also an ESPNinsider article. It's pretty interesting. They actually conclude that Wiggins and LeBron are two incredibly different players.

A conclusion that was obvious to, uh, almost everyone well before draft night.  ;)
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Dieng has really struggled this year defensively, not sure how good he's going to be on that end.

the Boston Celtics...or maybe the Boston Celtics will look like the Timberwolves.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.

I think LaVine by year 3 could be a break out player. He's young and inexperience now, just needs to play and figure out the league. Can't ask for much out him this year.He came out of no where last year and didn't even play that much in college. He can shoot, and has the length and athletic ability to become a solid NBA guard.

Minny should suck for this year and next but have some good chips to work with their young guys.
