Little Sabonis is so damn skilled, just like his pops.

I've been thinking for a while that
Ryan Arcidiacono from Villanova could be the next Delly. PG, 6'3, insane motor, good 3 point shooter.

I believe the LeBron comparisons for Simmons come from the way he is simply overpowering people. Honestly, if LeBron went to school for a year, I imagine he'd have put up similar numbers to what Simmons is right now. 20-13-5 is unheard of from college players.

Considering Lebron put up 21-6-5 as an 18 year old in the NBA, playing 40 MPG in 79 games, and was the major focus of the other team's defense all the time, I'm pretty sure he could have blown the doors off the college game much more than Simmons has...the 35 second shot clock would have slowed him down a bit, but playing less than half the number of games means he would have been in hyperdrive mode all the time.

I really doubt his numbers would have been much better and that's not to say Simmons is on LeBron's level.

For one, LeBron would have been playing significantly less mpg in college than he did his rookie year.

Depends on where he went. I think he really would have gone to UNC, if this is the case, hard to score more than high teens because of their system. He would have been a 19/9/7 guy or something like that.

If he would have gone to OSU in a year not much else talent, he could have averaged 30+ a game ala Glenn Robinson at Purdue.

Just too many factors to assume his numbers in college, but anyway he would have gone he would have dominated the collegiate level.
 
This draft isn't going to be very good. Of course, people who follow recruiting knew this was a good possibility. Most analysts weren't overly bullish on last year's crop of prospects.

There probably won't be any superstars (except for maybe Ingram who has that ceiling). But there are quite a few solid role players.

We need an infusion of young talent to really make this core pop. That is partially why GS is so successful IMO. They took picks in the 20's & 30's and turned them into key players.

We need to start doing the same. You can probably get RJ back on the cheap, maybe take a shot at VC (pipedream IMO). JJ can come back if he wants, same for Dantay.

Resign Delly.

Let Timo walk.

From there you desperately need a C & SF who can contribute 10-15 minutes a night. I know Shump will probably play SF in a lot of small ball lineups, but we need to start developing a guy who will eventually step in at SF. Maybe its too early, but we need to address is.

As for Center, we really dont have anyone. TT is great for what we are doing, and I knew once they signed him that was the plan. However there needs to be a bigman we can jump up in the 2nd and snag. Over 7' and can bang.
 
Here's to hoping that PHI can land multiple lottery picks!
