NBA Draft & Off-Season News 2016

Its not even him having an ego. He is just a terrible person. Loves the smell of his own shower. Hes dad is good friends with Brown and even coached him...

Its pretty much a lock for hin to go to 76ers but even some of the pros like McGrady and Carter think Ingram should go 1.

As i have said that should go when he knocks up 50+ losses next year.

its better then him being the man in LA, trying to live up to Magic Johnson.

Should of happen this year with LSU but since he was the main man he didn't seem to care if they won or lost. I can see the same happening at 76ers

difference is im pretty sure he knew he would go 1 no matter what he has done.

But once he is in the NBA what will his goal be?

you could say it might not be to win a ring, but given the ego it would have to be, win the MVP. that takes work to do even if he wants to chuck up 35 shots a night.

He is after an mvp imo. The way he plays he can walk straight into the NBA and 76ers team and have 8 rebounds 8 assist along with 15 points. I assume he will try and get a jump shot?

he looks to me like a Poor mans Lebron in every sense.

the big difference is Lebron is one of the most selfless superstars ever a trait magic had aswell and its what you need to be a great point forward.

[valkorum]

Magic was a point guard, not a point forward (even though he is 6ft 9in)

[plumdog millionaire]

Simmons is legit - Great handle for a 6'9 player, awesome in transition and makes some really advanced passes given his experience level (Like hitting guys before they're open and seeing passes in really tight lanes). He's not selfish, he just didn't want to go to college and made a mockery out of the system.

But I think we've seen is that he has a bit of an attitude problem in terms of not developing a tonne in college, not giving consistent effort and not being a dynamic leader that you'd expect out of his role. But he's 19 and been told he's the greatest thing since sliced bread since he was at least 12. Brett Brown seems to be pretty content with drafting him and he's no slouch. I'm optimistic that he'll come round on everything else

[Cookie311993]

I'll follow the team he gets drafted by. Interested in the draft as a whole. Seeing who goes where and which sides make trades
Especially what the Celtics do with the 3rd pick. If the 76ers get it then I reckon they would/should go for Dunn or Murray

[Mat0369]

It's all about work ethic. That was the major worry with Simmons outside of not having a shot. The fact he didn't improve at the collegiate level at all and was failing classes is a huge cross. It's like what the F is he actually doing with his time? Ingram could still turn out the better prospect with the KD comparisons, but he has his own issues on the defensive end and his FT percentage is a huge worry since that is generally the guide to if your shooting will translate into the NBA.

If 6'ers get 3 it's apparently Dunn. I'm not overly sold on it, I'd rather deal with the Lakers.

[Cookie311993]

If the 76ers get another pick in the top 5, I believe they will look for a guard. Possibly a perimeter shooting guard.

A lot of talk that the Lakers are gonna make a play for Derozan during free agency

they have got soo many picks.

Noel + both late first rounders for 2. I know first rounders are good even if late but

Simmons Saric Ingram Okafor Embiid makes sense

[jvalles69]

Anyone have an idea of where Thon Maker will be drafted?  Paying $1.40 to be drafted in the 1st round on most betting agencies.

[Jay]

According to ESPN, Kris Dunn is the favourite to be selected at 3 by Boston.

Possible rumour to get Philly to pay up?

makes total sense that a top team will take him as they can afford to develop him for a few years as he has the highest ceiling of anyone who will be available.

The other scenario is I can see a Boston Celtics or Philly taking him considering they both have 3 picks.

Cool, will chuck a small bet on then.

[Andrew3747]

Thon Maker to Boston with their 3rd pick is almost a lock. Boston should teade for Jahill imo. Bender and Jahill are way better options then Dunn.

No thanks.
