REMEMBER Dario Saric he's a PART of this .
DON'T be so damn disrespectful by intentionally leaving out of the young core.

[@marsalischism8141]

chad is getting me even more excited ! lets goooooo

[@Healthweathhappiness2024]

I'm sold. At least Ben at LSU played with D - league or euro guys. Fultz played with nothing.

We eating.

[@penssuck6453]

I'm content if we don't make another move now, but I wouldn't be mad if we move up to draft Donovan Mitchell. Our starting five could look like this:
(C) Embiid
(PF) Simmons
(SF) Roco
(SG) Mitchell
(PG) Fultz
Next best at their position:
(C) Holmes/Okafor
(PF) Dario
(SF) Anderson (we need to upgrade)
(SG) TLC
(PG) Bayless (we need to upgrade)

You're bugging
It should be:
1) Fultz
2) Covington
3) Simmons
4) Darico
5) Embid
6) Okafor/Holmes
7) McConnell/Bayless
8) Anderson
That's the one.
Covington is like 1 step away from being the perfect 3 and D guy and they can put him on the opposing teams best wing-player (they already do)....he can even guard the 4 in certain situations.
Simmons should NEVER play the 4 full time because that's just ASKING for foul trouble while giving up offensive rebounds. I DOUBT he can guard an NBA 4 full-time....but he should be able to guard the 2 and 3 pretty easily.....the 4 sparingly.
Saric is the SHIT and can take advantage of any offensive mismatch that may occur PLUS his passing skills will promote movement off of the ball (just like Simmons) PLUS he can shoot so that means he is an outlet for Simmons. Also, he give GREAT effort on defense even though he'll never, ever, ever, be an elite defender.....and he also seems to have Ginobli-like intangibles that warrant time on the court for him.
Embid is just awesome and will make the whole unit look better than their individual skills will allow them to look on both offense and defense (especially defense tho).
Fultz can take advantage of any matchup by moving off of the ball or in the pick and roll.
The you have Okafor who is a MONSTER on the block but sucks on defense (and Holmes who is an effort-player like a Tristan Thompson and should NEVER start...ever).
McConnell is a decent guy off of the bench and so is Bayless, however, Bayless can guard the 1 AND the 2....McConnell can't
Anderson is like a Covington and can guard the 2 or 3.
