Also the fact that Saric got on a plane to take part in the draft and then stayed just to take part in the Sixers introductory press conference shows that he wont be staying in Turkey for long. Not to mention how big he looks especially compared to Grant who measured 6'8" at the combine. Perhaps it is just the angle but he looks closer to 7 feet and has SF skill level. What if he closer to Dirk than Turkoglu?

Again it might not work, Embiid and Noel might never be 100% again, Saric might get stuck over in Euroleagues, a lot of stuff needs to happen to make this a success story but at the very least it is an interesting way of trying to build a team from the absolute ground up.
The potential is huge though
A very quiet acquisition is Pierre Jackson who won't be an NBA star because of his size but who absolutely blitzed the D league last year and looks like a Patty Mills type of instant offense off of the bench.
