He's very boom or bust. I would take a shot on him if they get Embiid with their first pick.

I'm warming to Parker a bit. He's going to be a great offensive player. I worry about his defense though.

it'll be exciting if they get parker for sure.

i think wiggins has fallen to 3 or 4 for me

You could be right...but I would not give them a 1st as well, those two components would have to be apart of a bigger package for a higher calibre #1 Dman

I think Gorssman could hold the fort so to speak while some of their younger players develop. They will be loaded with picks as we'll, so a young talented centre like Schenn may be something they would look at

They can find veteran defensive defenseman in free agency.

Yep. Kid even caught a horseshoe crab shell

EDIT wish I was fishing now...sitting at little league game in Wildwood, getting eaten alive & the kids team is getting killed

- Jsaquella


Fishing during Horseshoe crab mating season is weird. They look like they're having an orgy.

honestly could see him somehow sneaking into the top 3
- Crimsoninja


If someone thinks his shot can improve, he has the length and ball handling teams covet. He would make one heck of a very long backcourt with MCW. It will be interesting to see what Hinkie does. I do believe if Wiggins and Embiid are gone at #3, it isn't a given they go Parker.

Please no. If the Sixers pass on one of the big 3 for him, I'll be very upset.
- PhillySportsGuy

yeah i guess

he keeps saying how he views himself as a PG in the nba. i want a true 2 (physically and mentally) on this team.

I think I've decided on who I'd like to see the Flyers draft...Alex Tuch.

i could see that. Plus Brown coached him in Australia.

this draft will definitely not be short on surprises

Fortunately none if that, she just hooked a random shell...she is good when we are out on the water. She snagged a small shark & two flounder that just missed length wise last summer. Also caught about 6 sea robins on fathers day

His deficiencies are fixable though. He has a very weak off hand. He can't drive to his left and finish. There's no reason he can't improve in that area.

It would be hard to pass up that kind of athlete at #3. He needs some work, but he could be one of the best players in the league in 5 years.

He looks very similar to MCW. He's so risky though. We haven't seen him play against anyone except people in the Australian basketball league.

It will be fun to see what the Bucks do at #2 if Embiid is on the board. Kind of made it known, he doesn't want to go there. IMHO, I think Parker drops out of the top 3.

The more I read, the more I like. I'd be happy with several there, though. Maybe Virtanen falls after the injury

i think i just have a personal bias against him. just seems to lack that killer instinct.

i do love that he is already a quality perimeter defender tho

Spent more time taking those off her line than I did working my own. But she had fun.

Already asked scouts about him, that's not likely to happen. Asked around about Tuch some mixed responses

Yup, I know exactly where you are! (creepy, eh?)

That's usually where we go to the beach, actually. We'll walk right by that field. Always looked like a decently nice field.

I think thats difficult to judge at a young age. I think the killer instinct comes from being confident.

People used to criticize Lebron for the same thing. People still feel he's too passive of a player.

It is nice, especially for down here. We're getting murdered, though.
