We Laughed, Cried, Rejoiced: The Week We Kept the Pick

Zo on an unforgettable and hilarious week in Sixers history.

Team Ricky Rundown

• The most instant of reactions to getting the number 3 pick, legendary.

• Draft pick fodder, PG podding again (oh great).

• Terrific option deep dive here from MOC in regards to what the Sixers, who did NOT lose the pick, could do on draft night.

Sixers Around the Web

• Great rundown of Daryl Morey’s history of first round draft picks. Mostly unsurprising but some nice did-you-knows too.

• Early rundown of national guys’ mock drafts post lottery.

• Jameer Nelson continuing the climb, in very relevant Sixers and Big 5 news.

• Justin Edwards with a Tyrese Maxey work ethic would heal me in so many ways.

• Paul George would take Ace Bailey number 1 overall. Somehow on brand for him.

Should the Sixers Stay at No. 3 or Trade Back in the Draft?

5 for the Road

My top 5 things to do with the third pick:

1. Just draft Ace Bailey.

2. If Spurs zig and take Ace Bailey, draft Dylan Harper and figure it out later.

3. Trade down with NOP and go get Herb Jones.

4. Call Houston about the number 10 and Tari Eason.

5. Get involved as a third team in the KD sweepstakes and see what kind of win-now return it brings.
