    The sixers season is finally over... Riggin' for Wiggins operation was in full effect, and we still couldn't outdo the Bucks.

    Anyways Sixers have all this cap space and 2 picks in a stacked draft. Hope MCW wins the ROTY.

    Miami Heat are still favorites to go all the way and win, don't why I saw that they aren't in here, forget who said it. Rather the Pacers win though.

    I think I'd prefer Embiid over Wiggins

    Yeah - but Melo has the leverage here I think.

    Sure, but there isn't a scenario where Melo says trade me to Houston or they'll sign me outright.

    My issue would be, a minor one, would Embiid and Noel be able to play in the same front court? I guess Sixers could trade Thad Young for something.

    quite honestly, I was going for the riggin' for wiggins angle because it sounded funny, and I stuck with it, wouldn't mind either Wiggins or Embiid honestly. Jabari Parker scares the crap out of me because hes not a good defender in college, If Sixers can't get Embiid or Wiggins, I'd rather the Sixers get Exum.

    No - but there is a scenario where he says trade me to Houston or I walk.

    Wouldn't worry about Parker, his defense sucked in college because he was being played out of position. He's not a PF or even a C, he's a SF.

    Some interesting stats about my Wizards.

    7.8 minutes


    Wall’s time of possession

    No player in the NBA has control of the ball more than the Wizards’ point guard. He touched the ball 7,622 times this season — more than 500 more than any other player — and on an average night, he’s in possession of the ball for 7.8 total minutes. And before anyone accuses him of hogging the ball, Wall was fourth in the league in passes per game with 70.2.

    38%

    Three-point shooting
    for the Wizards


    The Wizards were the only team to feature four players who topped 100 three-pointers over the course of the season: Trevor Ariza(180), Martell Webster (146), Bradley Beal(138) and Wall (108).

    Again, much of the credit here goes to Wall. He led the league by notching an assist on 247 three-point baskets, 51 more than anyone else in the league.

    40.6

    Points Wall is

    responsible for per game

    Not only did Wall average a career-high 19.3 points per game this season, but cameras are able to track his passing better than ever. We know he topped the league in the traditional assist category (721 overall; his 8.8 per game average was second to Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers), but we can go a step further to tally the exact number of Wall’s two-point field goals, three-pointers and passes that resulted in free throws. In all, his sharp passing resulted in 21.3 additional points per game. His total number of points created (1,708) is 69 more than the next highest total, Minnesota guard Ricky Rubio’s 1,657.

    Embiid and Noel... hmm.. it depends on how the players develop I guess. I have a feeling Noel could have a Griffin-type explosion next season (I'm not talking about stats, just that he's ready to play on this kind of level). My best bet you go with Wiggins or Parker, because you have the PG position more or less locked down with MCW.

    Always draft BPA in the draft, not by fit.
