Yeah, true. Btw, guys, if we wanna talk PG, how about a guy like Allan Ray in the 2nd round? He'd be just as good for us as Foye or Marcus Williams. Eric Hicks wouldn't be bad either.
id take him. dont we have 2 2nd rounders? if so, we can take a big with our first and a pg with our second. id look at guys like ray, brown, and yes, gerry mcamara
Nah, we bascailly traded 2nd rounders with Cleveland in that Nailon trade, remember? Although it would be nice if we did.
oh yeah, but i thought we traded for a conditional 2nd round pick or something? i think we have theirs?
Hmm, not sure..I'll look it up. EDIT: Cleveland acquires Lee Nailon and a 2006 second-round pick from Philadelphia for a conditional 2006 second-round pick.
This guy would be a great pickup in the 2nd round also. Eric Hicks 6-6 245 PF Cincinnati Sr. Strenghts: A true warrior with tireless drive and energy ... Has a chiseled body and excellent athleticism ... Crashes the glass with reckless abandon ... Gets a ton of offensive boards (nearly as many as defensive) ... Competitor who does all the dirty work inside ... Tremendous explosiveness and strength allows him to out-rebound players bigger and taller than himself ... Loves to bang, battles for every rebound and loose ball ... Runs the floor well ... Powerful shoulders and body strength ... Shows tremendous heart for the game and toughness, refusing to leave games when he sustains an injury that would put the average player out ... Shows continued improvement in his game ... Free throw shooting has shown steady improvement (to where it is now 65%) ... Decent touch from 15 feet and in, his jump shot has improved considerably, even hits the occasional 3 ... Intimidating defender with shot blocking ability (over 3 per game on college level) ... Plays within himself ... Has the attributes to be an excellent role player on the next level (rebounder/energy player) ... Weaknesses: Severely undersized at 6-6 with shoes on ... He has the athleticism to make up for his size disadvantage, but his height limits his effectiveness to an extent on the next level ... Definitely better suited to play inside than on the wing ... More adept at rebounding and defense than offense ... Should develop more post moves, more consistency and range on his jumpshot ... Lacks a go to move, gets most of his baskets on putbacks and open looks ... Not a player who creates offense for himself ... From NBA Draft.net He'd be a great hustle guy that can pull down rebounds and block shots when he can. Could really use him.
Aaron Afflalo Anyone? NBA Comparison: Raja Bell <font color=""Red"">Strengths:</font> One of college basketball's best mid-range shooters ... Uses picks effectively ... Very creative at getting his shot off ... Quick release and perfect form ... Range well out past the 3-point line ... Shoots a remarkably high percentage from the floor ... Rarely forces a bad shot, lets the offense come to him ... Terrific balance ... Outstanding stamina ... Plays his best at the end of games, when his opponent grows tired of chasing him around picks ... Clutch ... Wants to take the big shots ... Adept at absorbing contact around the hoop and finishing the play ... Good quickness ... Passes well ... Good help defender ... Great instincts for the off-guard position ... Coachable ... Good intensity ... Improved free throw shooter (up to 80% this season) ... Prefers the right side of the floor, but comfortable going left ... Very polished at this stage in his development. <font color=""red"">Weaknesses:</font> Not a tremendous athlete ... Below-average vertical leap...Not blessed with blazing speed ... Has improved his rebounding from his freshman to his sophomore year, but still plenty of room for improvement ... Better in the half-court than in transition ... Can get sloppy handling the ball, leading to a few too many turnovers ... High crossover ... Can get pushed around by bigger 2-guards ... Has a tendency to push off on the offensive end...Occasionally, a bit too passive...If his shot isn't falling, the rest of his game tends to suffer. i dont know if he will enter the draft or not, and some may say he is a reach, but i really like him. the guy is clutch and is capable of making the big shot, while being a good defensive player. i think we should look at him in the second round if no one else is available. he could turn out to be a steal.
Wouldn't be bad..but the thing is that we don't really need a SG, we're more in need of a PG or SF/PF or PF/C.
i will like to see philly get adam morrison because he is the man but then i wanna get either allan ray Aka the Next Answer, then i wanna get my home town buddie Ronnie Brewer, and rand Foye. But i dont know, this is real pittyful that we have to go to the draft to get a championship ring.

But i dont know, this is real pittyful that we have to go to the draft to get a championship ring.</div> there a couple of problems. the sixers only have 1 first rounder and 2 2nd rounders. morrison is projected to go in the top 3, and the sixers are on their way to the playoffs to get eliminated, so that cancels out the possibility. also, foye will be top 10, but ray and brewer could be possible
My heart says pick Randy Foye, but my brain tells me to pick Shelden Williams. I hate Duke, but I think Shelden Williams is the best guy to go, but passing up Foye would be heartbreaking especially since how he'd leading Villanova right now.
Foye, Tiago Splitter, Shelden Williams if he slips, Quincy Douby from Rutgers or Patrick O'Bryant from Bradley would be the best suited picks for Philly IMO. I know O'Bryant is a big man but the sixers could use another one from what I've seen and Douby is a great scorer and can play the point position like Foye can. Tiago and Shelden would be the BTA's at that point so they should'nt be passed on.
Glen Davis Strengths: A unique player because of his unreal body strength. Most basketball players are not built like tanks ... Charismatic personality, similar to Shaq ... Excellent feel for the game ... His physical strength is virtually unparalleled for a player his height ... Has the ability to physically overpower players, but also has the skills and finesse of a smaller player ... Has tremendous body control, very soft hands and surprisingly quick feet, which could be attributed to his days on the gridiron ... He sets up strong on the block and establishes position immediately and can seal off players with a simple use of his off arm. Opponents can?t get in front of him ... Excels at squaring up from 12 feet and taking bigger players off the dribble ... Really understands how to use his body to create shots against bigger and more athletic players ... Does a good job of passing when doubled, seeing teammates on the wing ... He?ll surprise you with some of the things he can do both as a post player but also in the open floor ... Davis will step out of the paint and knock dow perimeter shots, has range out to 18 feet ... His mechanics are solid and has good form and knows when to pull up ... A complete team player and is very coachable as well as being a leader in the locker room ... Strong personality. Very poised in interviews and has a good demeanor about him ... Could guard some centers on the next level due to his strength ... Has great touch around the basket, especially with contact ... Has worked hard on his body chiseling 20-25 pounds from his 330 pound freshman physique ... Weaknesses: As a shooter, he doesn?t elevate all that well on his jumper and is content with being a flat footed set shooter ... With his 300 plus pounds packed on a 6-8 frame, he is not tremendously fast in the open floor ... Lacks great length at 6-8 and medium wing span, this gets compounded some by his lack of leaping ability ... Does not get great lift when he jumps ... Conditioning and stamina could be improved ... If he lost 15-20 pounds it would help his mobility and lift some, but his game is catered to power ... He needs to explode upward for rebounds instead of relying on his huge frame to box out two players at a time ... He must improve on getting back on defense and improving his stamina so teams don?t have an advantage with Davis lagging in transition ... With his lack of explosiveness he's susceptible to having his shots blocked by weak side help ... Not a real shot blocker but a space eater inside ... Notes: Nicknamed "Big Baby" ... Was a dominant football player in high school, (played defensive lineman and halfback!) and could easily have had a career in the NFL if he chose to ... if he falls to our pick, i would definetly take him. for some reason i like him more than sheldon williams
Glen Davis is very very good, powerful PF, but the thing is that I don't think he would fit in with a team like the Sixers, that's just me. But, Buckets is right, Foye, Splitter, Williams, O'Bryant and Douby would be all good picks for us.
With the 13th pick in the 2006 NBA draft the Philadelphia 76ers select...Marcus Williams, PG, Connecticut The kid just keeps improving in UConn and it's time for him to get paid. I can potentially see him turn into an Andre Miller type player, he'll give you points when you need them but really he's a distributor. He also manages the game very well, something we need if we're going to keep A.I. With the 46th pick in the 2006 NBA draft the Philadelphia 76ers select...Pops Mensah-Bonsu, PF, George Washington Forget your Daddy, who's your Pops? Pops Mensah-Bonsu is a force on the defensive end and can really add some options for us.
Pops would be nice. He's a nice defensive prescence in the inside and can be an explosive leaper. Think a less injury prone Kenyon Martin.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Psycho Drama:</div><div class="quote_post">Pops would be nice. He's a nice defensive prescence in the inside and can be an explosive leaper. Think a less injury prone Kenyon Martin.</div> Kenyon Martin and Pops are on two completely different levels. For starters, Kenyon Martin was the number one pick in 2000, and he actually some nice post moves along with a mid-range shot. Pops is still very raw on the offensive end. In terms of defensively? Yes, they are probably on similar levels, but Kenyon Martin was so much more skilled at this point of his career offensively which is why he was the number one pick.
