I think he will get better over time. He's more athletic than most people think. I think he just needs to improve his ball security need the basket to cut down having his shot blocked and turnovers. But I believe that will come over time.
A lot of that will depend on his relationship with his current team. If he hates it over there, maybe. But it makes more sense for him to stay until 2017-18 to get out of his rookie deal.
Yeah, the thing is we won't know if Noel or Okafor can develop into that player until a couple of seasons. It would be huge if they can draft Ben Simmons next summer. He has superstar potential
True. But I don't see them making a jump from Worst to Playoffs like Milwaukee. I think this season is going to be much of the same as the previous two. Now, they will show some improvement. But it won't be much. I think that fans forget that a lot of the Sixers wins came against teams that rested players.
Nerlens is working on his open-court game and shooting. Grant is doing the same. He's working on things that could make him the team's starting three.
Wow, great question. Right now, I would have to say the Phillies. But two months ago, I would say the Sixers. Here's why: The Eastern Conference is weak in basketball. However, the Phillies have to deal with the Nationals and Mets, two solid ballclubs. But I don't expect the Phillies or the Sixers to make the playoffs in the next two seasons.
Yes, they are up for grabs.
But if Tony Wroten if healthy, here's my starting five for right now: Tony Wroten (PG), Nik Staukas (SG), Jerami Grant (SF), Nerlens Noel (PF) and Jahlil Okafor (C). I have Grant over Robert Covington just because the Sixers need a role playing defender in the starting lineup. Without him, Noel will be the lone defensive stopper on the floor. I think Covington can thrive on this team as the sixth-man. He come in and get buckets.
You have to. But he WILL NOT take it from the Sixers. Sorry, but let's be honest.
Yeah, great point. I think it will depend on next summer's draft. They could have Ben Simmons if they get the No. 1 pick. I think they would rather have him over Barnes.
Great questions. Ones that will be answered this season. I know that he's been working on improving for power forward skills. But I can't speak on things until I see it.
Other than Ben Simmons, it's honestly too early to talk about that. A lot will depend on the lottery and what people do and who applies for the draft.
