so are you saying that the Sixers are bad at tanking, the Sixers are bad at assessing young talent, or some sort of combination of both?
So, you can read my posts above that state that every single 1st rounder they have taken has been good besides Embiid. Hell, Okafor is putting up a ludicrous season right now for a rookie
Their talent evaluation has been fine, they've taken the BPA in every draft. Hell, I'd still honestly take Embiid, if he gets on the court next year he's going to be scar
they just didn't have good players to start out with, now theres at least 2 good players on the court right now with 6 1st round rookies playing possibly next year. This along with massive cap room allows us to work to get a super star
All the Sixer's are doing is playing fringe NBA players who are young rather then filling their rosters with Lou Williams and Evan Turner, who get you to mediocrity and nothing else, a hell we were examples of for over 10 years.
I repeat, the Sixer's under Doug Collins traded away basically their entire team for Andrew Bynum. We had Jrue Holiday, Thadeus Young, Elton Brands corpse, Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes. We were also missing our 1st rounder for a year
We were the Nets, and it takes a while to get rid of shit contracts with shit players.
Next year we will have Noel, Okafor, Saric, our 1st rounder, 40-50% chance of getting the Lakers pick, the heat pick, and the thunder pick. And if Embiid sniffs the court, well have one of the most freakishly athletic big men to ever exist. We will also have a top tier practice facility which is currently being built, Jerry Colangelo, one of the most respected NBA front office members in the league, Brett Brown, a highly respected NBA coach who worked years under Pop, and not only that after the next year we'll have even more shit. We're through phase 1 of the "process" and yeah it sucks ass watching them lose every night, but its way easier to accept this then it was a strategy that sucked the franchise from one of the most respected to one that the city stopped caring for
