A moment with the GM

What's up guys and welcome to my attempt to bring success back to this championship starved city. The Sixers has had many opportunities in the past to get out of this state of mediocrity but bad contracts, horrible personnel moves, and the lack of player development all has contributed to this mess we have on our hands. But today all that officially comes to and end!

Day #1 5:30 am:

I sit in my plush new office contemplating how I am going to turn this proud franchise back into contender and all signs point to the offseason of DC6! But 1st we have to evaluate the talent on our current roster so we can properly guage where we will be focusing our attention come draft day.

We will be giving every starter on the team a letter grade and then the bench will be assigned a grade also. These grades a specifically tied to how our coaches will be running our franchise personnel and scheme wise. Just because a player has a low grade doesn't mean he's not a good player it just means he doesn't fit what we expect out of our players for our franchise.

PG-Antonio Cameron=B: A.C. is a damn fine athlete and he plays above the rim like we want out of our guards. But he is not the long term answer to lead our franchise against Brooklyn, Miami, and Indy for the next 4 or 5 years. I picture Cameron as our future super 6th man or an athletic wing who doesn't have to worry about getting other players involved.

SG-Bryce Joseph=C-: Bryce is a good guy but in this LEAGUE we don't have time for nice guys! We need players who can get it done on a nightly basis. Bryce has shown the ability to hit the open jumper but his inability to take his game to that next level is a major
concern for a franchise who is already stuck in mud. This position will be upgraded by either a free agent or a 2nd round pick.

SF-Vernon Maxiell=B: Jason is the teams best scorer. He can post, he can hit shots from anywhere on the floor and his confidence is top notch. My only concerns is his athleticism, he's not the most agile player and he looks uninterested on most defensive possessions but he just flat out get buckets! On a team that will struggle to score on most night his talent is VERY needed at this point.

PF-Nigel Hawes=C+: I can't lie I like Nigels ability to stretch the floor with his range...but damn..that's all he can do! He's going to get bullied on a nightly basis on the block and I just can't have that! If he remains a Sixer it will be only as a role player.

C-Jay Salah=B+: This is the teams wildcard! He is one of those players who GMs loves to say has unlimited potential, he's long,
SUPER athletic, but the one word I HATE but it definitely applies here is that he is very RAW. Just having picked up the game of basketball means two things. Either he's going to take to the game and become a star or he will get smothered by the competition an be a flop. Only time will tell.

Bench=F: our bench is a complete mess! I will look to improve our bench with a decent role player in free agency or hopefully I strike gold in the draft! I will be targeting a true PG or a great post scoring threat with my 1st rd pick. With my 2nd rd I will be looking for a shooter or a tough guy player who can knock some people around or get some ugly buckets when the jumpers aren't falling.

Top 5 draft hopefulls:

PG-Whakil Blackshear
C-Deandre White
PF-Gavin Williamson
C-Thiago Souza
PF-Deebo Evans

2nd round targets

SG-Justyn Chestnut
SG-Thomas Benning
PG-Devon Elliot
C-Colin Henry

Coming up GAME DAY vs Miami!!
