i'll be good with the pick if he's going to spam the hell out of 3s when he gets to play. i don't want to see some buddy hield type shit where he turns into a fucking corncob and won't shoot a basketball anymore

the concerns with having an undersized backcourt are valid, but u take BPA all day every day. this team has severely lacked talent + depth for a while now. take the bpa and then use the assets to get lengthy wings

Just read we drafted a “viral tiktoker”. Mamba mentality incoming baby!!

I've been tryna be optimistic but we may be cooked

At this point Daryl's going to be taking expiring contracts just so we hit the league minimum salary.

we got the rookie of the year lets go boys juiced

[There have been two freshmen in NCAA history with a .611+ true shooting percentage, 210+ 3PA, and 150+ rebounds.](https://x.com/bydavidmurphy/status/1806149591194038722?s=46) Jared McCain and Steph Curry

That's pretty sick. This dude is different

How close were they

Morey’s master plan will be complete when he takes Bronny with the 41st pick tomorrow

Who do we want in the second round?

Ulrich Chomche

That's a made up name, isn't it?

Collier is ECSTATIC to be heading to Utah lol

Tyler Smith might fall all the way to our other pick lmao

So am I getting this right... ? Mccain never worked out for the Sixers ?

How long do we have to wait before Tobias is gone?

You don’t. He’s a free agent

That press conference with morey is gonna be must watch

Tonight right?

Morey turned on auto-draft hours ago. He's seeing Inside Out 2 right now at the Riverview

No he’s at the Four Seasons meeting LeBron

Sources tell me he’s at Noto with James Harden

Knicks trading 24 to the Wizards, if its for Kispert im raging lol

I'd kms

Morey just called an uber to get some dim sum.. that's a wrap folks

lol Phoenix just punked Denver

Gonna trade McCain for a 2nd rounder in 2 years just like they did Jaden springer

2 picks > 1 pick Simple math really.

stonks

i just added jared mccain to the list of reasons why we should ban tiktok

can't believe i've spent more than 2 decades waiting for this team to do something...

I like the pick.

People focused way too much on the dudes height. We had fucking Lowry and Melton playing with Maxey all season and they are no bigger than McCain. He can shoot like crazy, is a plus defender, and is already pretty strong for his size. (He also is a good rebounder) He absolutely can play next to Maxey, but you always take the best player available in the draft anyway.

> People focused way too much on the dudes height. We had fucking Lowry and Melton playing with Maxey all season and they are no bigger than McCain. Lowry was starting because didn't have much choice. Melton is way longer than McCain. Like it's not even close. McCain 6-2 with a 6-3 wingspan. Melton 6-3 with a 6-8 wingspan And even with that Melton can struggle vs bigger guys. McCain alone will get target by wings. Maxey and McCain together will get feasted on. > He absolutely can play next to Maxey On one side of the ball.

if what you say is true about rebounding, I could see this in a more positive light

> We had fucking Lowry and Melton playing with Maxey Idk about you but i'd have preferred that we didn't lol

so Morey not planning on doing anything today besides taking the guy most mocks were giving to the sixers? fucking lazy mf bet he's out eating already

I was hoping the pick was traded but apparently not. I just don't see the ceiling of this pick, we have to hide Maxey so if McCain plays he's gonna be guarding 6"5+ dudes every matchup. This is asking to get Joel to break his back on defense for another season (and then we'll get all the dumb takes about how he should focus more on it and he doesn't rebound enough)

McCain can defend and rebound though. And elite shooter off the dribble (indicator of high ceiling I think) Best available at that point IMO

That's if he could take true 1 matchups. Tyrese will get hidden every play, McCain will be forced to take on much bigger players

I know nothing about him, but i wonder if teams saw Knecht as the Danny Watkins of the NBA

I watched McCain torched teams with his insane threes. I would imagine that Melton is gone then.

Devin Booker per 36 at Kentucky: 29 6 and 3 👁️ [McCain per 36 at Duke: 27, 10 and 4](https://x.com/trillbrodude/status/1806144325811679699?s=46)

Shhh let people yell about not selecting a guy eligible for AARP

Hell yeah except Book is 6'6 lol

2.5 inches taller and McCain is a better rebounder Book does have him in wingspan but McCain is a good defender

The issue with that is we already have Tyrese Maxey.

McCain late growth spurt gonna shock alot of us

McCain I would say has even more potential than Maxey coming out of the draft. Hopefully the Maxey effect in intangibles rubs off on him.

Ok, but deadass do we need another Maxey on the team. We straight up lack tall enough and athletic enough bodies to just rebound at this point. 

would rather have ten maxeys on this team than one tobias lol

You take the best player available

We didn't. This was a bad pick with a low team ceiling when we already have Maxey

It makes our back court offense very dynamic. Hes also strong as shit and rebounds well. 6 rebounds per 36 in a power 5 conference is really good

> It makes our back court offense very dynamic. It also makes our back court defense very un-dynamic.

dudes 63 with a plus wingspan and hes stronger than maxey already i think he can hang with hart divencenzo and brunson. Jaylen brown is a different question tho

He's 6-2 with an 6-3 wingspan. In no world is that considered a good wingspan for an NBA player. Melton is 6-3 with a 6-8 wingspan Maxey is 6-2 with a 6-6 wingspan.

for everyone confused - we are a poverty franchise. you can skip this year. nothing will improve for the foreseeable future.

We’re just building a back court that can compete with the size of brown, tatum, white and jrue. We’re just one 40 year old washed star away now

I’m so god damn sick of this sub being doom and gloom fucking losers man.

Bad things happen, people react to bad things happening Contrarian dorks- sick of your doom and gloom, losers!

41 years....

Go outside. People bitching and moaning about what is objectively a high value prospect at 16 is outrageous. Mad for the sake of being mad

Sixers have given me soo many reasons to not be a doomer, like (...) and (...)

has this franchise ever proven the doomers wrong?

kinda, doomers usually arent doomer enough for how shitty the team ends up

Alright, Knecht is an idiot, glad we didn’t take him

thank you! That interview was painful, no way he’s learning nick nurses offense

stopped watching, what did he say / do lol

Y’all are fucking haters McCain is a shooter WE NEED THAT and HE CAN PLAY DEFENSE. KNECHT CANT McCain is gonna fill out the back court and develop he can shoot play D he’s the whole package y’all gotta stop bitching morey knows what he’s doing

bro he gonna get traded like tomorrow

He is not gett jt traded 😭😭😭

definitely is, if the Sixers were drafting to keep the player they would've taken Knecht and not a discount Maxey He's gonna be a Net soon

Just wish he was bigger than Maxey.

Maxeys my favorite player but he’s can be a liability on D McCain is gonna just pick up slack and produce and hold his own on d

Bro, the tallest guy in our backcourt is gonna be 6'2" with like a 30 inch vertical.

maxey is 6’2.5” and a 36+ inch vertical

Think of this way imagine maxey but as an elite defender

Just saying he would be a better defender if he was at least 6'5

Why do you think they didn't take Knecht? Not that I had any knowledge of him outside of a game that was on when visiting with family

Because they plan on trading McCain as soon as they can

This isn’t happening

Too old and no defense

wAiT tILl DrAfT nIgHt fOr MoReY tO CoOk

He's been cooking the bluest meth man... pure..

He’s cooking ramen :/

I guess we’ll see if something happens at 21 with the Pels

I suspect McCain will be traded.

Wrong

Knicks when they drafted tingus pingus vibes in this thread, let’s see how he plays out

Dead ass would’ve rather to just hold bronny hostage

Yall are such dorks for losing your minds over a white college ball scorer.

Weird comment

Its official, fire Morey into the sun

I hate it, nails and tik tok aside, he is a small guard who isn’t a playmaker type. I guess if he pans out he’s a good bench player and this is the 16th pick but I would have preferred some size. Edit: Hate is too strong a word for the 16th pick, I was being dramatic lol but I’m just not loving the size. I’m not sure his defense can translate if he’s not very athletic or fast and has a 1:1 wingspan. Granted he might not even crack the rotation this year. But yeah I don’t hate, just preferred taking size at 16

He was a freshman at Duke which had two excellent primary ball handlers. If you watch the opportunities McCain had to play the primary ball handler role he displayed exceptional passing vision and ability. His ceiling is a smaller Devin Booker guy. His floor is an excellent 3 point shooting specialist.

please watch the eyebl sessions he is very good at running PnRs and he doesnt turn the ball over. even more importantly he makes maxeys life easier as a real movement shooter

Not to be that guy but we could've been had most of that with Isaiah Joe lol

and now we have 4 players on our roster its 2024 man we gotta move on

Trust me I've been very "move on from Joe already" since the trade went down but I just don't really get this move

This is a nightmare day man Jesus we are actually gonna do the cap space shit year two LMFAOOO

Northeast philly coming out in full force huh

We drafted a bona fide fucking dork

I can’t wait to see him shine and revisit this thread full of doomers

Doesn't matter if he shines we're not winning shit with a back court of two 6'2 guys.

I mean I get the concern to an extent but the average height for a PG in the NBA is 6’2 and SG is 6’4. They’re on the shorter end (each listed 6’2) but this sub is acting like we have smurfs as our backcourt. McCain will do fine if he even comes close to his potential.

Sixers going all in on their shrimpy backcourt is funny as shit, gotta admit.

trading mccain to the jazz for lauri

my man

Lakers get gifted Knecht because morey is a fraud

Makes me sick the Lakers got Knecht

Knecht cannot defend let’s be real guys

So?

Definitely feels dubious but he has size and is pretty athletic

Absurd....I feel sick.

Lol obviously no one watched Duke this year…McCain was BY FAR the best player on the team this year and only got better. Knecht is fucking three and a half years older and had inflated numbers due to the entire offense running through him. McCain had to share the ball with two ball hog guards

Knecht was also able to hide on defense all year with that squad

Everyone pissed is also pissed that pride month exists. Pay them no mind

someone get their mans hes going on an unhinged rant trying to play victim lmao nobody cares that ur gay bro relax

I really liked McCain.

Mccain is like the opposite of Jaden springer

Definitely more developed offensively than Springer but plays hard on defense too.

100% McCain has a better game offensively but Jaden is a much better defender

F the Lakers..

Morey was definitely in the break room heating up a tv dinner during that pick.

Our back court might not have the height but it’ll have the vibes

This dude and Kelly O would have hilarious energy but bad Maxey fit I think he gone

monica mcnutt is taller than him

I want to cry

Even bum ass Lakers aren't gonna fuck this up.

NBA comp Jason Collins

[удалено]

I entirely cool with him as a person but I don't really understand the fit

painting your fingernails will always be weird and you can't gaslight people into thinking its not

[удалено]

i never said im against painting your fingernails but be prepared for people to call you weird. its really not as big of a deal as you're making it lmao

Man I’m not feeling this

I’m going to die of old age before we get young wings with size on this fucking team. Holy shit why do we need a small fuckinh guard I just don’t understand 

Why did we draft another short guard?

everything they've described about this guy sounds like WIP's worst nightmare lol

Knecht was the obvious pick. Jfc.

Lakers taking Knecht in absolute disbelief that he's still available Morey get the fuck out of my franchise you bum

I think this pick was made for Utah…

So we’re going to have another year where no one on our team can rebound huh

He seems nice

McCain and Maxey are going to be the most beloved backcourt in the league

Most wholesome backcourt in the league

McCain will never play a single game for the Sixers lol

Probably right considering he’s actually good

idk how good or bad he gonna be but he's basically discount Maxey, its so obvious he gonna get traded soon

His hobbies are yoga, meditation, Journaling and painting nails lol

Perfect for Philly I’m sure he won’t totally mentally collapse like all our other draft picks

Hes actually a fairly resilient guy he struggled alot early this year but stayed the course and had a huge last 20 games of his season

Feels like a trade since we have Maxey 

This kid is a fucking DORK lmao

I have no words..

You don’t know ball

Any time you can draft an undersized, unathletic guard at the one position that's already sorted, you have to do it!

Terrible.

Had a chance to draft a steal in Knecht, Morey is officially washed up

Everyone had a chance to draft him, he’s falling for a reason

cause teams are drafting projects, while we were drafting for immediate help

we drafted one of the dick wigglers on tiktok... we will always be a poverty franchise won't we?

That’s such a bad fucking pick lol. And I am not part of the Mummers who wanted Knecht cause he’s classy. He’s too old and doesn’t rebound. Walter would have been a better pick. I don’t even hate on this kid. But 6’2 guard right most to Maxey.

It’s over

He’s going to be popular at Woodys.

fade me

Mannnn. Shiiiit. I ain’t gone say nothing lmao. Clown show

He does tik toks..

Nah did we just draft the NBA version of Caleb Williams 😭

Glad I’m not the only one who was thinking this. His tik-tok nonsense and nail painting are gonna be a distraction. Warranted or not.

I DARE THIS MOTHERFUCKER TO HAVE A BAD GAME

lol just lol Definitely a pick done with the desire to trade him later Knecht wouldve helped RIGHT NOW Morey you fucking buuuum

clown ass morey didnt expect knecht or walter to fall so just went with the OG option

McCain is solid but I think we blew it not getting Dalton. Crap.

You can’t play maxey and McCain together whatsoever

sleeping on mccain as a defender rebounder and passer he will be a top 50 player in 2 seaasons

How is that even possible if he won’t see enough minutes as long as maxey or another undersized point guard is on the team

keep sleeping man

You’re sleeping

same per 100 stats as booker in kentucky #wenotwritingback

Got it. Can’t wait to watch Brunson smoke him.

stocky 215 man he might be stronger than maxey already plus our back court aura might be unmatched

I’d love to see it. Hope you’re right.

RIGHT?! What are we doing man....

Who was booing lmfao
