Of course, that draft was hyped up similar to this one as well, and I imagine the results will be similar. 100% wrong. Embiid was the front runner to go #1 before his injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guard Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Embiid moved like a gazille at Kansas while showing off the dream shake and the ability to hit 3’s. To say he wasn’t projected to be the top pick is comical. He was a generational prospect in every sense. Injuries dropped him to Philly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted April 16, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 The Foot Injury. Bucks don't want him. Quote Some would have called him a steal at No. 2 just days ago. He sat perched atop most mock drafts for months after showcasing a skill set similar to that of Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon. Red flags were already surrounding Embiid because of prior issues with his back and knee. The foot injury has only made things worse and provided more questions than answers about his basketball future, as noted by Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders: His skills has always been better than his health. Maybe he was legit #1 overall going into June... But then again, who wants the next Greg Oden, Sam Bowie, Marcus Camby type.. Always injured? The tell of Sam Bowie has to be playing loudly in the ears of most GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted April 16, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 KB, I feel a lesson coming on. It's not draft lottery day.. and maybe draft lottery day will save us. But I feel like we're about to get punked. We're already back to #4. My prediction... Lakers move up to #1 overall. Clippers move up to #3 overall. We fall back to #6 overall. We pick trae Young... And we're back into the lottery next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Braves got the best infield in baseball, a solid outfield with the best prospect coming soon, gonna sign Bryce Harper, good pitching and still loaded in the minors. Do you think the Hawks can hit home runs in this draft and next year, be loaded like Boston and be ready for a dynasty? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I'm excited about the Braves (just got back from freezing my ass off at STP), but we'll see if we still have the best infield in a month. Everyone's hot at the moment. And there's a 0% chance we sign Harper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 So we needed another tank thread? No, the Hawk's tank won't work in that the ultimate goal is a championship. Teams that "tank" don't win it all. There are too many other teams competing for that spot. 14 teams don't make the playoffs. Luck, market and front offices win a championship. Go back to the Bulls dynasty. They were extremely lucky Jordan fell to them at 3. Their office was very crafty in getting Pippin. Their market played a big role in their being able to draw and keep remaining talent in Chicago. Drafting 1st, purposely tanking had nothing to do with it. The Heat championships....market + aggressive front office. GS championships, Luck + front office. Years of Laker championships.....one helluva front office. San Antonio's championships you can blame squarely on luck. The David Robinson injury and other problems that year that led a playoff team to fall deep into the lottery led to teaming an aging Robinson with a young Tim Duncan, creating an atmosphere that drew the top talent. The market and city is awesome. If it was as simple as losing for 3 years straight, everyone would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that the Braves tanked worked, is like saying that the Hawks were right in signing Dwight Howard in 2016, because they began the season 9 - 2. Let's pump the brakes on the Braves and see where they are by the All-Star break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
