looks like Frenchman Jonathan Jeanne has some quality name tools and the class's best standing reach at 9'5.5", which is still like 4 inches short of Rudy Gobert's standing reach. Anyone have any film on him?

If the Sixers end up with say picks 1 or 2 and 6, would a backcourt of Fultz and Fox or Ball and Fox fit with Cov/Ben/Embiid?

It all depends on what things look like, but Isaac would be my second pick if he were available at 6.

I don't really see Isaac playing the 3 in the NBA, at which point I would see Markennen being a lot more valuable. I guess that all depends on if you think you can shove Simmons to the 3 on defense.

If that scenario comes to pass, I'd go Fultz at 1 and Monk at 6. Fultz/Monk/Saric/Simmons/Embiid is an awesome lineup. I think Fultz/Monk could probably swap on defense.

That's potentially a pretty awful lineup on the perimeter tho, which is what gives me pause on that duo.

I guess it helps to have Embiid protecting the paint though.


Edit: I mean that lineup is bad defensively on the perimeter. It's actually pretty awesome offensively.

Isaac isn't a 3, he's not agile enough, he's just a very skinny 4 who should be able to switch pretty easily on defense. His lack of in between game is a DOOMSAYER, he really needs to learn it to avoid becoming an Ibaka. He's being projected as a rich man's Jon Leueur but it's hard to say, his guards never passed to him at florida state.

You don't want Ball if you have Ben Simmons and Fultz, that wouldn't make any sense. Simmons and Fultz are a nice combination because Simmons has the playmaking to make up for Fultz's lack. Fox is also a bad fit because he can't shoot and is a pg. Why would you draft Simmons and Fultz and then take the ball out of their hands? I don't see the sixers getting the lakers pick, but if they somehow get 1 and 4, the logical picks are Fultz and Tatum, who's a real 3 who can do the things you want a small forward to do in the contemporary NBA.

If you want to get wild, Fultz and Monk, because Monk gives them a dynamic scorer and a third own-offense-creator after Fultz and Embiid. If they get 2 and 4 they could draft Jackson, try and go wild and trade down a couple spots and pick up Dennis Smith. I don't see why Fox is rising so high in mock drafts. Maybe he cut his hair?

I like Monk to the Sixers because it's the only team where he can just score and do nothing else. Of course if they have #1 they should still choose Fultz.

i dunno if I'd use DOOMSAYER like that because part of the thing about being a streetcorner apocalypsist is that your predictions never manifest?

It's like saying you wouldn't want Harden on a team if they already had Durant and Westbrook. If they're good players, an additional ball handler makes the team that much harder to guard, it opens things up for one another.

Fultz+Monk really isn't "wild". It's the logical choices if they get 1 + 4 to 6.

Fox it moving up because people think he might be able to fix his shot.

I can see that too (fultz/monk)

In any event (unless you draft Fox, which is a terrible idea for the Sixers), Covington is going to start because he's by far the best perimeter defender on the team and you're going to put him at the '3' but he's likely going to switch on D to take on the best offensive player. He can switch 1-3 with no problem. You would have to try to hide Monk like Boston tries to hide IT but it might be good enough offensively to be ok.

I happen to think Isaac is quick enough to hang with 3s on defense, but that's just me.

e: \/ even if I believe in his shot, if (and again, I'm taking a leap of faith here) you believe in Simmons running the 1 on offense, you do yourself a disservice selecting Fox and then taking the ball out of his hands

But on Thursday, he made a strong case for his draft stock to rise, which it seems to be doing, with an absolutely bonkers vertical jump at 44.5" inches. In fact, his first attempt cleared the standard equipment so they had to make special arrangements for him to raise the bar.
