McDermott from Creighton

[Sect 236]

I think he'll end up mid to late 1st round, depending on how Michigan does in the tournament. But a lot of the guys I've seen projected from like 10 to 15 have not impressed me that much (Lavine for instance).

Sixers will certainly have options. I wouldn't mind taking one or two of those Florida seniors in the second round.

I like LaVine, I just think he's really raw right now. If you refine him, he could be a legit 2.

They need to walk away with 2 long-term starters with their pick and the Pels pick. Between all the 2nd rounders, they need to find at least 2 role players.

I think they'll be much more competitive next year, but still a lottery pick (major rookie contributions, Noel with a year off). After another high pick next year, that's when I think we can expect to see the Sixers be REALLY good.
