The difference is that the Sixers' big men look good, most of the C's guards don't.

lol idk it has never been done in the NBA and worked so I dont know why I should trust it
About the best situation for him(assuming KD doesn't bail in FA), as they won't need much at all from him, he just has to be a big body and get boards and finish easy ones around the rim and he will be a valuable rotation player.
You're not finding a franchise center picking 16, 28 and 33.
All that matters is if these guys are good which is obviously yet to be determined. But Ainge has had a ton of success drafting in this area of the draft so I trust his judgment.
As for the glut of guards, yeah its a concern but I think we all know that this roster will look dramatically different when they get close to contending. Obviously they felt the value was with the players they picked.
It's going to be tough watching them get abused at the rim again this year, but that wasn't going to be fixed tonight or likely this summer unless there's a surprise free agent or trade.
How do you know he didn't?

WTH is Upshaw's off the court issues anyways?? He's a legit 7 footer who's put up some impressive numbers......
There's major medical issues too - a heart problem I believe.

Somebody draft Quinn Cook.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Also, keep in mind he was a senior, he's already 22. He can come in and play mins right now.. even though he played at a small school 4 years of college makes the transition easier. Not a high ceiling.. but you know what you're getting.

He got kicked out of Fresno St. for apparent drug indiscretions. This is like getting kicked out of the state of Florida for being too much of a degenerate.

what are you his brother? chill lol
I think these are all different situations. Phoenix just looks like an incompetent rebuild to me. Celtics are actively trying to create a hardworking and winning culture but just don't have the talent yet. The Sixers are the extreme and seemingly solely focused on asset accumulation.
I think what all three have in common is that they are trying to position themselves to secure a guy who can be one of the best 10-15 players in the league (at minimum) otherwise history shows you're probably not a championship contender.
Tanking/ structured rebuilding has definitely worked in the NBA in the past. Pre-Hakeem Rockets, pre-Duncan Spurs, Thunder being obvious examples. Sixers are an extreme situation and we'll see if it works out.

These Minion ads are fucking everywhere.
Yea tanking for 1 cant miss player has worked, but tanking every year, drafting injured players and players who are not coming over for 2 years have not been seen before lol
So Portland...
Lillard / CJ ?
Matthews (?) / Gerald Henderson

Plumlee / Vonleh
Meyers Leonard / Kaman

Hell yea, happy for Dawson. He's got the athleticism and can defend multiple positions. Hopefully he does well during the summer and makes the cut - Dawson's weakness is his shooting range but that can improve. He's a junkyard dog who can give solid minutes off the bench with defense, rebounds, and second-chance baskets.

76ers pick a non-big at 58... and he's actually in attendance.

Until Lilard gets paid, Gerald Henderson is the highest paid player on the team as of right now.

Well, at least Philly sports talk radio will be fun tomorrow. That's one positive.
Roy's not.
Character issues, heart problems, and a cocaine addiction.
He's just collecting that NBA paycheck until K or Roy retires at Duke/Carolina.
