    Clarke's kind of been all over the place in the mocks. Have seen him that low. I'd be thrilled with him, or Horton-Tucker or Thybulle. I think all three of them offer one quality in the special category, and if you can get that late in the first round, you've done well.

    That's not so insane due to where our lead going to where it stretches the floor on offensive at all positions. This kid hasn't shown ability to shoot outside the free throw line. Defense he will be alright but I think his stock might get hurt due to his offensive range.

    Even with Embiid...Brooklyn in charge

    Ben Simmons was a liability on both ends in the 1st half.
    Without Butler Philly would be down 20+

    Jared Dudley playing well.

    Sixers have no chemistry. Simmons is a gamer, but he's neutralized in this system.

    He’s neutralized in any system where he isnt surrounded by shooters cause his shot is so bad.

    Every player has weaknesses. Ben has so much skill outside of shooting. But they need to get him the ball instead of letting Embiid create.
