The NBA Draft Lottery Is Done, Where Do Teams Go From Here?

I think Ingram is the better pic imo gotta feeling that Simmons is too big of a name for Philly to pass on. He's got great talent but I doubt his heart and killer instinct. Ingram is a poor man's Durant to me defends better and I feel has that drive and aggressiveness that turns a star into a superstar

He's not, Simmons is going #1 guaranteed.

Brett Brown coached in Australia and is friends with Simmons' family, there is a connection there.

Simmons seems to want to go to LA. So that might be a road block for Philly to overcome. He could very well force himself away from Philly and into LA's arms.

Porzingis basically boxed Philly out of taking him last year.

From my favourite club perspective (Nets) we would prolly sign some euroleague high profile players, Prokhorov attended final four of EL @ Berlin so he could sign maybe Teodosic or Malcolm Delaney, also Anthony Randolph lifted his game bigtime in Europe.

Call me crazy, but Philly should take Kris Dunn with the #1 pick. I think he's the best player in the draft. He's a great talent, NBA ready and he has the disposition required to play there. I think Philadelphia would love him.

It'd make sense since they need guards, but that'd take some giant stones to pass on Ingram and Simmons.

You're crazy. If they want Dunn that bad, they should move down to 4, and acquire assets for #1, in the process. They shouldn't just outright take Dunn 1. Boston, Phoenix and Minnesota may all have interest to get to 1 to select Simmons. Kris Dunn would be available at any one of those slots. Make those guys pay for the rights to get Simmons.

Better idea and something I should've thought of, but I couldn't go any lower than Boston's pick. I'd rather deal with Phoenix, though. Would they give up Devin Booker and the #4 pick (maybe #13, too) to move up to #1?

I'd also like to add that I don't believe any of this is going to happen and that I don't covet Simmons or Ingram the way everyone else seems to. I believe they're more likely to be busts than stars. This draft has 2005 written all over it.
