Lets all take a moment

And thank the lord BB and the dumb 76ers have finally benched Okafor. Noel playing with energy and rolls to the hoop out of ball screens with speed and is actually a vertical threat to catch lobs. Give Noel a competent ball handler in the pick and roll (Simmons) and his value will sky rocket even more.

Noel might be more valuable to the sixers because of his defense.

Absolutely. That's an obvious fact. I like him on offense as well. Underrated with his PnR ability. He opens more up for the perimeter with his effectiveness as a roller. JAH is so painfully slow and lethargic

Been watching Porzingas tonight. JFC that's looking like a fuck up that Coldplay could sing about.

I think it's time to move on.

I'm just happy they got Embiid right. Can't wait to see Simmons. Porzingas is water under the bridge.

That's how I feel. Can't hit them all. Embiid and Simmons are studs. Noel can be very good in his niche and Saric is a good player, too. Job well done IMO. Colangelo needs to get the right PG in the next draft and they should be set.

Last night felt like the first big-time game this team's played in years. It was fun, old school hoops... even if it was a loss.

There's no good reason not to be super excited about the Sixers' future.

I hear ya. I just wish Okafor wasn't completely useless. I would probably take a 2 for him at this point.

Everybody except BC knew the draft was going to be the last chance to get anything of any value for him. At this point, unloading Okafor is addition by subtraction.

[McCarthy12]

Yup. It was awesome. Embiid looked like he was going to cry after he fouled out. You gotta love that. Good things to come with that team.

Also... McConnell looks like an NBA player.

[McCarthy12]

Yeah, how about that?? If he turned into a solid backup PG that would be fantastic. I'm hoping to have been very wrong about him.

[Snakebitten]

McConnell is not that good. Okafor is not that bad.

[nerd]

McConnell is not that good. Okafor is not that bad.

For the hype and where he was picked...He's that bad.
