What's amazing is that the 76ers wrote off a 6th (Noel), 11th (MCW) and 3rd pick (Oak) and still have a crazy core.


Imagine if they'd drafted Porzingis instead of Okafor and Kristaps was in Philly now with Embiid, Simmons and Fultz.


Had Philly drafted KP they might not have been in a position to draft Simmons or retain their no.1 pick this past draft.


But they would have broken a bone in his body and forced him to sit out a year?


Imagine they Drafted CJ McCollum over Nerlens, Giannis over Noel, PorzinGOD over Okafor and Dennis Smith Jr over Fultz? GOAT team.

DSJ
MCCOLLUM
GIANNIS
PORZINGIS
EMBIID

SIMMONS 6th man.

He shouldn’t be starting, Clarkson is a better player and should be starting over Ball. Ball is an absolute scrub and magic really screwed up this pick, hindsight is the worst.

It's depressing how bad Lonzo is. Got benched. But, he does have a tendency to shrink in big games:Boston, Wizardsx2, this game. I won't count clippers. Something is off with him. He was making great passes first 5-7 games and all of a sudden is playing like he's always tired.

There was no one really head and shoulders above Ball. It's not like it was a loaded draft.

I can see why Magic was unimpressed by Lonzo though. Dude has an ugly game outside of a few flashy passes.

Even in college aka Sweet Sixteen vs Fox.

Thank you Lavar Ball for making Lonzo playing like (bleep)....and also for making him the most hated rookie ever outside of LA fan base....that guy is so stupid I cannot even believe, just please until rest of his career keep your big stupid mouth shut

At the time, this appeared to be the case. If there was a redraft, I can name at least 8 players who should have went higher, he does not look like an nba player, not even a bench level player.

Sure if we're going by this game lol. He has had some good games this season. His floor is just so low that you forget about the good games.

supposedly he had a hamstring injury, but I'm starting to think he does really shrink. It is beginning to make sense especially with his "don't care I didn't play in fourth" I mean it was correct call, but have some fire. That's what this team seems to lack sometimes, a firey guy. Ingram shows it here and there, but no one consistently does except maybe kuzma

He has had 2 good games for the entire season, the rest were all horrible.

Milwaukee wasn't a big game because why exactly? They have a better record than the 76ers and Giannis is a bigger star than anyone on Philadelphia.

The entire season has not been a long one. You need to ease up a bit.

You said he has had some good games, I was just clarifying only 2 games were good and the rest were fringe G-league status.

And I'm just qualifying your remark when you say "entire season". You make it sound like we're already 75% done. It's still early for Lonzo to find his way. I don't even want to defend him but you going overboard is really annoying.

I think we should send him to the G League for a couple weeks. He can dominate those guys and maybe regain his confidence

it wasn't prime time though. And even so he only shows up and plays with fire when his shot is going down. But he is now Not even getting assists. Remember his 2 shot game, had low assists there too. I want him to do well but I'm big games where either people mocked him or are ready to go at him, he's shrank
