It may be true but is there a single goto scorer in this draft? Beal or Lamb or Rivers may have an outside shot at one day becoming one. Unless you still think Turner is that guy.......I though the ship had sailed on that one.

I feel MKG can be one as well as Lamb. Either could be available with an Iggy trade with Sac, GS, or Toronto. Both could also fill in for Iguodala defensively in time. One of those, Eric Gordon, or an off chance at Deron Williams are our best chance this off season.

Gordon is someone that we can realistically get. I say try to sign him and let Lou walk. I think that Gordon is a much better player than Lou.

Gordon is a very good player. On both ends of the floor. But he can never stay healthy. Honestly, I'd probably take the chance.

That's my main concern with him. The last couple years, he has missed significant amounts of time during the season. Still, I would much rather have him over Lou.
 
Drummond measured in at 7'0", with a 7'6" wingspan. 278 lb with 7.5% body fat is pretty good. Better be talking to SAC... John Henson measured in 6'10 1/2" with a 7'5" wingspan. Highest standing reach at the combine. Weighed in at 216. Needs to hit the weight room hard, but we already knew that. Lamb measured in at 6'5" with a very good 6'11" wingspan. 179 lbs... SMH. Austin Rivers 6'5". His 6'7" wingspan is very average. Sullinger at 6'9" with a 7'1" wingspan. 8'11" standing reach. I had concerns about his reach, looks absolutely fine to me. More than fine actually. Very good. 268 lbs and 10.7% body weight is good for him. Tyler Zeller hurt his stock. Pathetic measurements. 7 and a half feet with a 7 foot wingspan. 8'8" standing reach at over 7'. Awful

MKG measured in at 6' 7 1/2" with a 7'0" wingspan. 233 lbs with 7% body fat. Barnes at 6'8" with a 6'11" wingspan. Tiny hands though. 228 lbs on 9.6% body fat. Perry Jones measured a legit 6'11" with 7'2" wingspan. Good for him. That height, ballhandling, and insane athleticism at the 3. Simply no way I'm passing on that potential for Barnes. Also 233 lbs on a very good 4.6% body fat. Meyers Leonard a legit 7'1" with 7'3" wingspan. 250 lbs on a very good 5.6% body fat. Second biggest hands in the draft as well. Important for a big man as they catch a lot of passes, many in traffic. Looked impressive in drills as well.

Also, Bradley Beal measured in at 6'5". He was listed at 6'3". Very good for him. A good 6'8" wingspan to go with it.

I don't see Zeller turning into much of anything into the NBA. He plays too soft for me in a physical league. Drummond is someone if developed properly can be a real solid pro. If I was the Sixers, I would be real intent to try to move up to grab him.

Yea I wasn't a fan of Zeller to begin with. Seeing those pathetic measurements, no thanks. Way too Spencer Hawesish for me. Limited upside. At best a good backup Center.

He's the last kind of player that we can use. I really want to see some more of Drummond. I know we would have to move up to get him, but I think he would be worth it.
 
Drummond is so far off from being an NBA player that he'd have to land in a situation like Bynum or Perkins did in order to succeed. A nice stable coaching staff and front office that's willing to wait 2-3 yrs before he really does anything on the basketball court. I hope for his sake he falls a bit in the draft and doesn't go to one of those teams that needs a savior.....maybe go to Toronto where he can sit on the bench for a while.

Zeller is going to be fine in the NBA, just as long as noone expects him to be a center. Put him next to Howard, Aldridge, Camby, Gortat, or Bogut and he could be great. Ask him to be your primary post defender/shot blocker/rebounder and you're in for a disappointment. Hes actually a very good defender, has quick feet and should be able to guard most PFs in the game.
 
I think it's safe to say at this point the Sixers are definitely looking to trade up. Whether it happens is another story. But the Kings, Warriors, and Raptors are obviously looking to shop their picks, with the Warriors and Raptors very interested in Iguodala. They've already worked out Drummond, and Collins/Thorn have already said an athletic center is one of their biggest priorities.

This is good to hear. This draft has a lot of good prospects, the Sixers just have to find the best one. Whether it's Drummond, Sullinger, or any other big man, I just hope they draft one in the first round.
 
And Rod Thorn confirms Lou Williams will opt out. So we can put that one to bed as well. Frees up 6.4 million in cap space.
 
The 76ers are apparently really high on Terrence Ross out of Washington if they stay at 15. I haven't looked at him much, so I'll have to get on it. I do know his 6'7" size with a 6'7 1/2" wingspan is really bad. Even worse than Turner. From what I've read, sounds like an athletic jump shooter that can't get his own shot. Basically a taller Jodie Meeks. But we'll see. Some sites say he can create his own shot, some say he can't. I'll have to watch some Washington games.

This is a good draft site that I've been using. Gives a nice overall breakdown of the player with their strengths, weaknesses, and gives that player a grade. I watch games on some of the players, but I find this effective.
