This draft has one weak spot- picks 3-5. Picks 6-9 are pretty good, and have a good shot of outperforming pick 3 or 4.

@derekbodner.bsky.social looking back at your draft Express eval of Tatum, is it fair to say you felt he was over reliant on ISO mid-range but good at it? How does that compare to Ace who ha a similar physical profile?
Is Ace less developed to where he relies on shooting without creating space?

Interesting/concerning that it's been over a month since Embiid's last game and still no word on "surgery."
If there is some procedure that will help you'd think they would want to do it as soon as possible given long recovery times.

What a horrible night for the tank. Nets and Raps lost close games to terrible teams and the Sixers are 7th instead of 5th seed. That drops their chance of keeping their pick by about 30%.

Spike (@spikeeskin.bsky.social) with lots of specific details on the Embiid knee situation on RTRS. Sounded sourced right from organization (Morey?)
I've been a broken record about the issue he is dealing with, as Spike puts it, "you can call it arthritis."
Sixers and Embiid not on same page.

This Sixers season feels like the bizzaro version of the Movie Major League (in reverse.)
Willy Mays Hayes-Maxey
Pedro/Jobu-Yabu
Taylor(arthritic catcher)- Embiid
Ricky "Wild Thing"- Oubre (NBA gave up on him) or RC4?
Eddie(old pitcher)-PG
Charlie(tanking GM)- Morey(or Hinkie guest appearance?)

This is the first Sixers game I'm actively hoping for a big, message sending loss.
Really want to stamp out any sense this team has a run in them.

Eagles are such a great organization. A lot of outside fans miss out on this because they have a knee-jerk negative reaction to "Philly sports"
In 2023, Autumn Lockwood became the first Black woman (and fourth overall) to coach in the Super Bowl. At Super Bowl LIX (Eagles vs Chiefs) she will coach in her second Super Bowl. Keep soaring, Autumn Lockwood ✨

Yeah, that KJ trade was my Joker moment with them.
I don't think most Sixers fans quite appreciate how much of a squandering of assets that was. But I lit into them for it here:

The KJ Martin trade is an egregious waste of resources
The Sixers spent two second-round picks to duck the luxury tax. Hang the banner!
