Praying that the Sixers have enough sense to take Fox or Monk. They really need both but probably need a quick SG like Monk a little more. Apparently Brett Brown is serious about playing Ben Simmons at PG next year.

Hate to say this, but if Bam comes back I think Bamba goest to Duke. Even if Bam doesn't come back he still might go to Duke

Mark me down as surprised Bam is going so low in drafts, his build alone I would think he's a top 20 pick. He's being projected a lower pick than skal o_O

I'm obviously really high on Bamba, but if presented that choice I'll take a sophomore Bam over a freshman Bamba. I know it won't happen, but just throwing that out there.

Fox is tying to get this bad taste out of his mouth . All the money he will make in the NBA will buy a lot of mouth wash. But revenge is sweet.

Bam doesn't need to hire an agent immediately. I really think he can improve his stock if he stays another season.

Players want to get to the league as soon as possible so they can get to their second contract. Unfortunately, some never see the big money second contract.

I'm not a recruiting guru , just how is Bamba compared to current day Bam ? Is he a true back to the basket center ? Does he have weight so he doesnt get pushed around ? Does he have a nice touch and can shoot FT's ?

Bam needs to return. He'd be a super soph but unfortunately Cal will be pushing him out the door.
this comment always humors. It's all Cal pushing him out the door. His Mom, living in that trailor, has no input, no need for millions of dollars. Nope. Never crosses their mind. it's all just Cal saying "You, go!!"

If Bam comes back, Bamba probably does not come here. I'd rather have a Sophomore Bam with more size around him than a raw Bamba

My dream lineup(Will never happen)
Richards
Bam
Diallo
Green
Briscoe

Bench
Hump
Washington
Alexander
Vandebilt

Try scoring on that

i rather have "raw" Bamba over Bam. Sorry for Bam, but you never take a first rounder over top 3 pick. Top 3 pick are top 3 pick for a reason. They are special. Bamba is special.

Bam is gone...To small to play post not enough skill to move outside....Type player that will get a GM fired

Love Bam. Love his energy, his heart, his commitment to the team and program that we saw in the lockerroom yesterday. So I'll try to be nice and vague here. Close to the basket, he needs work. Not great hands, and his footwork is surprisingly ....not great, tendency to walk. That will be corrected, not sure you can do much about the hands. The main thing is I come away from watching him thinking he should be more effective around the rim than he is. I know he gets doubled and pounded a lot, but that's common. With his build, he should be able to muscle more in. Too easily negated at the rim. Bottom line, he's playing out of position. his future is at the 4.
Agreed. That's a solid/fair critique IMO.
