Wiggins is soft! Do you remember the last time the Sixers took a Canadian in the 1st

[Drama Queen]

Embiid is the only one that MIGHT develop into a superstar!

Lets tank some more!

That's according to you, the guy who coached both players AND the gm who SELECTED WIGGINS. the only idiots who think wiggins is gonna be the better pro are the sixers GM and the gaggle of sixers fans who are now bellyaching that the sixers didn't bet the house on a Canadian who was the third option on his own goddamn team.

Sure embid might be damaged goods but the slim odds of him being healthy are better than the zero odds of wiggins being a top 20 nba player.

At least he's not a Canadian fireman, is he?

Canadians haven't been very good to Philadelphia. How many Canadians have failed to bring a Stanley Cup?

Wiggins will be fine, its just that the mood on the board was gloomy this morning.

Embiid has pretty good low post movers and can create shots down low. Let him sit out for a year+ until he's deemed 100%. The Sixers had no choice. Sometimes the best player drops in your lap and this situation has the same vib. Jordan was the 3rd pick after Hakeem and Bowie. Regarding football, Lane Johnson dropped to us after 2 OT's were taken ahead of him... so far, so good.

Trivia: Lindsay Scott and Perry Tuttle were taken before which Philadelphia Eagle?

Mike Quick 1982. And I remember being stationed in Japan, and reading all the football magazine articles (I subscribed to them all) and all the press talked about after the draft was Vermeil settling for Quick.

[Drama Queen]

Yep.

There was a lot of talk about the Eagles settling for Quick when Buffalo took Tuttle.
