How's that pick swap looking now? (split)

[206Fan]

Here is the scenario I can envision just because we are so snake-bitten as a franchise:

We finish this year at something horrible like 29-53. The 76ers finish 16-66. We "win" the NBA draft lottery. The 76ers drop to 4th. They swap picks with us. We draft a 6'5 "athletic" shooting guard who has a mediocre first 2 years before being shipped off to another team for spare parts. The 76ers draft Ben Simmons who becomes LeBron 2.0 and leads the 76ers to 4 championships before bolting and signing with the Lakers who then win another 3 championships.

We are the Sacramento Kings. Don't be surprised if this is what happens.

Jokes on you! There aren't any 6'5 athletic SG worth drafting in the top 10 this year.

I want Demetrius Jackson so it's ok...we've passed up on PGs in every year...2012(Lillard), 2013(McCollum), 2014(Payton and LaVine), and 2015(Mudiay).

We can't do that in 2016. Give me Demetirus Jackson

Way too early to say we want Jackson. Plus, as you know, I'd take Kris Dunn ten times out of ten over Jackson, who I doubt is actually 6'1.5" tall. But we'll see. Dunn is twice the defender that Jackson is and may be the best defensive PG to come down the pike in a long time that can actually do other things as well. Plus Dunn is 6'4" tall. In order to prefer Jackson over Dunn, you have to be basing it entirely on shooting percentage because Dunn excels in every other catagory.

Jackson: 35.3 mpg - 18.7 ppg - 3.7 rpg - 4.4 apg - 0.9 stl's per game - 53.4% fgp - 43.3% 3pp

Dunn: 32.8 mpg - 18.2 ppg - 6.4 rpg - 7.3 apg - 3.6 stl's per game - 46.9% fgp - 24.0% 3pp

Obviously his weakness is his three point shooting, but to his credit, unlike Marcus Smart, he doesn't take many three poing shot. Plus, also unlike Smart, his form is pretty good, and I think his shot is fixable. If your looking for a point guard that leans toward pass first and is a great defender, then you go with Dunn. If you looking for a PG that can put points on the board and is more of a combo guard, then you go with Jackson. By no means is this meant to be a knock on Jackson. I'm just trying to define the choices. I like Jackson and he would be a nice addition to any team. But I think Dunn has all star talent. Doesn't mean he'll ever be an all star, but I wouldn't bet against him.
