    Brooklyn traded away this pick back in 2013:

    The way I see it we have the potential to draft another potential franchise player. Monk isn't one of them, he could be a great player but probably someone you draft to fit team needs.

    Just imagine if the Celtics go with Jackson because of their PG log jam and Lakers perceive with Ball... :emoji_wink:

    We were looking like a serious team until Embiid got injured. Simmons missed the whole season, Bayless missed 90% of the season, we traded away Noel and Illyasova towards the end of the season, it all went downhill there.

    Next season should be the one where we take that huge step. I dare say, Lowry could help us make the playoffs, how he plays during the playoffs and other big games is questionable however.....

    I would be happy with bringing back Jrue, he's younger than Lowry, but injuries are a concern and with Philly's luck we have to expect the worst.

    Should be thanking Hinkie, the 3rd pick should've belonged to the Kings but through a trade Philly had rights to swap.

    I'd be shocked if he stays in the league past his rookie deal. Hope I'm wrong but 2 ACL's, MCL, and a meniscus? Crazy.

    Difference is this kid is 19 lol. Derrick wasn't injured until his 4th year and never had a 2nd ACL tear or a MCL tear. I'm pretty sure Giles just had a scope after Duke's season ended as well.

    Might be easier for him to stick around since he's taller but I would stay away until late 1st, early 2nd.

    The younger you are, the easier it is to come back from injuries like that. Like Jabari Parker came back lookin more athletic than ever this season until his second ACL tear.

    Miami is either trading up or down to make a pick unless they have a guy they really really like. Maybe Ivan Rabb, but please for gods sake, not TJ Leaf.

    Jabari came back after 1 injury, who knows what he's gonna look like after another.

    Giles has already had 2 ACLs (both knees), MCL, meniscus, and an arthroscopic surgery before he played for Duke. That's more than enough of a history for a 20 year career, let alone somebody who hasn't even played an NBA game yet.

    You guys should target Anunoby or Justin Jackson. I hope the Bulls get Patton from Creighton.

    We need PF, badly. We have plenty of guards so no use drafting one. That's why I think Riley trades the pick if he needs to. We were starting Luke Babbit for a majority of the season.

    #1 pick will be LAVAR BALL!!

    I'm curious to see if Lonzo goes to the Lakers...it feels like a done deal...since they have already said he will only workout for the Lakers...if I'm a GM; I really question that pick...do I really want the drama of LaVar Ball? and if Lonzo doesn't surpass expectations? such a lose-win scenario...I would take Fox, Jackson over Ball from what I saw in the NCAA...but NBA is different game...

    Get ready for Laker drama if they actually pick Lonzo

    Embiid and Simmons playing styles dont match up so its hard for them to hav chemistry on the court. If we trade simmons for a different point guard that matches embiid better, and if we snatch a good pick in the draft we're looking at a playoff team but only if those things happen
