Anyway the point is with the picks they have had the last 2 years I believe its been 2 of the worst drafts EVER. They have basically put there entire franchise into Noel and Embid. I think its insane. Last night I take Exum at 3, then Randall, McDermott or the kid from Indiana.... Whoever slipped to me at 10. Horrible 2 years of drafting from them.

They drafted the rookie of the year last year. I'd say that wouldn't qualify it as one of the worst drafts ever.

While taking Noel and Embiid is risky they have huge upsides. Noel may never be anything more than a rim protector and rebounder and defensive player but those guys are valued in the league. Embiid is a huge risk but Exum is too condiering that there is very little actual game coverage of him against real competition and the other guys listed are likely just guys. They get Saric who potentially is a star next year or the year after, they also get back another #1 pick in 2017. So basically they got the draft and stash guy they were looking for AND recover draft picks. They obviously want to be big players in next years lottery and are seemingly looking at 2016 to start the push. Yeah it is gonna be another bad year but if they can get all these guys on the court relatively healthy in the near future there might be a real contender in there.
