Hah, if Pop can't handle questions from the media without being a dick, imagine how he reacted to this...Yeah forget about Simmons.
then sixers better get used to being ghosted by simmons, both on the court and off the court.Yeah forget about Simmons.

Yeah, my whole wishlist was prefaced with the assumption that we have Mobley in tow. I also had Moody, Wagner, and Johnson ahead of Duarte as preferred picks in that late lottery range. So, I guess that means I'd ideally be looking at Duarte just outside the lottery in the 15-20 range (otherwise, those other guys would still be on the board).Where we stand right now @Derek in my honest assessment of championship caliber rotation players...
#1
none
#2
none
#3
Garland (#2 potential)
Allen (#2 potential)
Sexton (firm #3)
#4 -#7 rotational contributors
Okoro (#3 potential)
Nance
Windler (potential contributor if healthy/reliable)
If we drafted Mobley and the guys showed continued growth this season, I would approach next offseason with this best case scenario for what's in my cupboard...
#1
none
#2
Mobley (#1 potential)
Garland

Okoro

Not the thread for it but I think you are underrating Okoro's ceiling here. He could be a number 2 guy. Conversely I think Allen is being vastly overrated. He is a 4th guy at best (and quite close to that ceiling already)Where we stand right now @Derek in my honest assessment of championship caliber rotation players...

I don't think it's likely but I think best case for Okoro is a shorter Jimmy Butler. I think he could reach #2 status but most likely Okoro peaks as a #3. Allen I see as a #4. Really good defender and rebounder but will never be a key offensive player.
Iggy is a realistic roadmap for him I think, but not were I would view his ceiling. If Okoro is able to tighten his handle a bit and get some consistency in his jumper, I think he could be a full 3-level scorer who can also be a lockdown 1v1 defender. I dont expect him to rack up a ton of stocks but just be an all-defensive level positional defender. Rich man's Caron Butler?A #2 guy is Kyrie. You think Okoro has any shot at being Kyrie?
My eye would be towards Iggy.....what development plan gets Okoro to be a guy as valuable as Iggy was to GSW?
