If Sixers draft Monk at 3, then they clearly think he's better than TLC or Furkan.
Embiid, Simmons, and Covington watched Monks workout today.
Harry Giles cancelled his workout with the Heat. He worked out for: Sacramento, Portland, Indiana, Detroit, Chicago.
Sounds like someone got a promise
You get to be the Cavs.NT Mock draft this year?
dudes in here talking out their ***Kennard is literally nothing like JJ Reddick is any way other than being white
You get to be the Cavs.NT Mock draft this year?
Just watched glimpses of Monk's workout with the Sixers, his form is so clean! If they do decide to take him, I hope that Bryan C can Hinkie his way to that Kings trade and take him at 5.
This year, draft talk is circulating even more than usual, especially at the top of the draft. NBA general managers, scouts and agents are putting the puzzle together, and I'm on the phone with them all day, every day, trying to sort out solid information from rumors.
Here are three major items from GMs with strong track records of truth-telling at this time of year, involving the No. 1 pick, the No. 2 pick and fast-rising Duke star Luke Kennard.
Celtics might pull a surprise at No. 1
Markelle Fultz has been atop my Big Board since version 2.0, and his only real challenger most of the year has been Lonzo Ball.
But Josh Jackson, who was No. 1 on Big Board 1.0, has emerged as an intriguing option for the Celtics and team president Danny Ainge (even though he canceled a workout with Boston this week, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman and Marc Spears).
"I've picked Danny's brain for years," one GM said. "Jackson is an Ainge player all the way. Tough, athletic, long, versatile, elite motor. If he's keeping the pick, Jackson just to me, far and away, is the most Celtics-type player for them to draft. From all my conversations with them, I'm convinced they'll take Jackson No. 1."
He's correct in that Jackson fits the prototypical Celtics mold. Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown all fit that description, and all were first-round selections by Boston (Rondo via trade).
Jackson has yet to work out for the Celtics, according to his agent, B.J. Armstrong, who said that Jackson has worked out twice for the Lakers and once for the 76ers. Jackson is also scheduled to work out for the Suns before the draft.
"We have great respect for Boston and Danny Ainge," Armstrong said. "That's a championship-caliber organization and Josh brings the things that I know Danny values. He can defend his position at an elite level. He can rebound for his position at an elite level and he can pass for his position at an elite level. All the championship-caliber teams are looking for players who can do those three things. And I know they want winners.
"We're in dialogue with Boston. We're very respectful of them. They have the No. 1 pick and can select whoever they choose. We just need to see how things play out over the next week."
Lemme start this by saying I'm a UK fan and I love Monk but....
Is 6'3 Malik Monk with a 6'4 wingspan a better NBA prospect than either of these 6'7 shooting guards with 7 foot wingspans?
Yeah but its Waiters league, we are just allowed to watch it.Speaking of Monk and shooting guards...yall gotta remenber that D Waiters was recently drafted in the top 5 so dont be suprised if Monk jumps in there
Furkan is legit. Forgot all about him
No he didn't.Won the Best Young Player Award this year over Doncic and Frank. And he's practically begging to come over this year, it's just up to the Sixers whether they think he's ready enough. He's been in Philly training with the team for the past week.
Plus didn't Hinkie actually want to draft Kristaps over Okafor and got too much kickback?Sixers shouldnt be worried bout fit yet, they not that good and aint close to contending for anything...take the best talent and figure it out later, this is what Hinkie sacrificed for
And if these players turn out to be good and actually have value/ a market round the league then it will be no problem making moves when its time to to...gotta hope for the opposite of Oakafor's situation
