I think a lot of the more casual fans don't understand how historically booty the 76ers first round picks were that surrounded their one recent great pick. Embiid got Fultz, Simmons, and Okafor for home grown talent lol.

[@eddie9244]

Trust the process. Was michael carter williams part of that too?

[@cmfrtblynmb02]

Don't tell this to 76ers. They think process only failed because of some wrong trades Truth is, they sucked at drafting. If it was not for Embiid, they would be as bad as Kahn's Wolves at drafting. Maybe even worse.

Charles Barkley: *_"You just siting at home in your grandma’s basement with your drawers on, typing on your damn keyboard. Shut the hell up! We’re pulling for Markelle Fultz."_* Speaking of Yips and Chuck, is that the same with his golf swing? He used to be good as Mj claimed. Then suddenly, he have "that" golf swing.

I think it's fine that Barkley is rooting for players to return to form that didn't do anything heinous.

[@alexanderchelsea5688]

Not that I like Mario Hezonja but the dude is literally playing in the best team outside of the nba, just won the euroleague last season.. harsh to say he's watching from his tv man

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

[@stevieboitano1038]

He also has a bit of a point about the NBA being more about entertainment than about the purest form of the game these days.

the fultz story has one mayor weakness. boston owned the no1 pick, and traded down - as they knew neither philly nor LA would take tatum. so tatum would never end up on the 76ers.

[@Psychoma99]

Brook Lopez is what bigmen with traditional traits who lack range should aspire to be like

[@AlanNadeauIII]

The problem with Wiseman, we've seen as of recent, is that he didn't belong in Golden State. The Warriors are trying to keep the dynasty going when the only member of the trio of Curry, Klay, and Draymond that which is still good is...Curry. Klay's injuries have costed him DEARLY, and Draymond is who we thought he was. Also it seems like the younger guys and Kerr don't really gel for the same reason, Kerr & co. want to keep the dynasty going. If WIseman got drafted elsewhere with the right people around him and less expectations, who knows

[@heyitsgurm3509]

Ehhh you see rookies like podziemski flourish. Even their backup center, I forget his name

[@tonycoltrane1311]

Dray since his return has added some scoring to his D and screening & passing

[@luisenriqueperezperez3193]

Another fun fact about Kris Dunn: Not only is he shooting 41% 3pt, he currently has the LOWEST Defensive FG% in the entire league among players who have played at least half the games of their team. (38.6%) And he has played 42 out of 54 games, 18 mpg on those games, so it ain't like he hasn't played much.

[@OneOfAKind-wg5sg]

Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons must 'suffer' from the same thing 😏

[@JayCostasShow]

I loved Kris Dunn man, such a down to earth guy I’ve had season tickets at Providence since even before him. Genuinely such a great guy and he deserves the world. Talented player just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

im sorry but take markelle off of this, he’s been hurt too much to even call him a bust that isn’t fair 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MikeKorzemba]

If you google the definition of a bust, it includes the words "if their career was derailed by injuries". I also told Markelle's story honestly and shed him in a good light. To keep him off this list would be pretending that history didn't exist imo- Mike

[@darrylscott8826]

It's very fair because he didn't have too much upside before the injuries

Markelle Fultz is one of the reasons why you should also draft according to fit

There was also Harry Giles III and Frank Jackson in the Top 5 of that draft with Josh Jackson and Markelle Fultz.

excellent content, just one thing, it's not "humbleness" the correct term is Humility. ;)

You keep bringing up LaMelo Ball in the Wiseman section. You really think the Warriors would’ve drafted a ball dominant guard on a team that had Steph, Klay and Jordan Poole? There was never a shot.

[@DKtrek21]

James Dumbman is the start of the Warriors dynasty collapse. He was their future. BUT when you can't do even the most basic things in the court like setting up screens to the point where Curry, a relatively docile player is so mad about you. Dray looks like he wants to kill the guy in disgust on how awful he is in the court.

[@billblaski9523]

[@T.H.E.O.R.Y.]

Did I just sleep past the part about Ben Simmons? How is he not on here as the #1 pick? It's not like MZ didn’t pick guys from Ben's draft class. I mention Simmons besides the obvious reason bc of a thought that came to mind: of all the busts _in general_ he's the one who had no excuse. Markelle had a grievous injury that basically destroyed his game. Marv was not the top pick for good reason, and he was one of 3 then quality options in his own class. Ben Simmons? None of these other guys had his hype and were the #1 pick. He's the only guy who basically willed himself out of the good graces of everyone, and *all without any debilitating injuries as the cause.*

[@sagewhite6657]

The Oscar Robinson disrespect was real

[@MikeKorzemba]

None intended! Oscar is an all time legend both on the court and off (even if that sounds cliche lol), its just like George Mikan and the Lakers to me. I said Sacramento though, Oscar was in Cincinnati but I get it, same franchise I just meant guys in Sacramento specifically

Wow. "Embid" "Wilt" "David"! Waaayy too much gas on that first guy.

[@antoinestroman3431]

There are a ton more of non factor top picks over 5he last 7 or 8 years. A lot of the younger players just don’t seem to want to win. Many, not all, just don’t improve much.

[@khoa2610]

why do so many players not work on a jump shot?? if basketball is your job... you work on shooting.

[@melvinpowelljr.3368]

Kris Dunn took over the starting point guard spot for the Utah Jazz and is officially on his way to a NBA All Defensive Team selection if he stays healthy and plays at least 65 games this season & a long-term deal from Utah this off-season. KD is far from a bust he is literally a late bloomer and a pure Alpha Dawg on perimeter defense...

[@MikeKorzemba]

Took Kyle Lowry a bit to get to all star level, im rooting for Dunn !

[@OK-yy6qz]

Although a Great defender there's a reason he's only Averaging 17 Minutes per game on the 11th seed Jazz. His offensive production is almost Non-existant. He's headed for that Patrick Beverly type role. Solid,but for a Player that was Drafted as a top 5 seed and Ahead Of Guys like Jamal Murray and Sabonis it's pretty fair to label him a bust

Man, don't none of you ever compare these centers and power forwards or forward-centers to people like wilt chamberlain and bill russell. Because there will never be players like these ever again don't even compare players to players like pete maravich, oscar robertson or even elgin baylor and tom gola or even george mikan and players from the 1960s and 70s.
