I have been watching youtube videos of Dario Saric and am not as impressed with him as most seem to be. What position does he project to with the 76ers? What are your thoughts about the prospects of his becoming a "star" player in the NBA. Personally I woul like t osee his rights traded.

I need to see him in person against NBA players before I can honestly say how good he projects. He projects as a power forward here. I just want to see how all of this is going to work with dealing out minutes if Embiid and Saric both play next season and they keep Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor

All great questions. I like what I need. I just think that one of them needs to become a better outside shooter to help with the spacing. Okafor needs to work on his defense. Noel needs to be more consistent with his shot. ... In regards to Embiid, I'm not sure how he fits with Okafor. But I can see him working well with Noel because Okafor can't guard away from the basket.

Tough one. I will have to go with Nerlens. He's playing at a high level. JaKarr Sampson, Jerami Grant and Hollis Thompson are having slow starts. I think Rob Covington will be a close second to Nerlens. And TonyWroten is still hurt, while Isaiah Canaan is moving to a new position. So I will have to say Nerlens.

I think we need to give him a little bit more time just because he didn't play in the preseason. However, I see your point. He's not a create-your-own-shot type of guy. However, I do expect him to get a lot of open looks playing with Okafor, Noel and Robert Covington on the floor.
