Brett Brown camped in the Sixers draft room Thursday at the PCOM Center, hearing every text notification beep, every telephone ring, every discussion about how the 76ers could become a better basketball team. Not that it would take much.

chess, he called it, describing the swirl, the one that left the Sixers with another gifted big man, one in a series. are ringing. Deals are being thrown around. cheap nfl jerseys We were the recipient of more calls than calls going out. At minimum it meant other general managers had seen what the Sixers had done, and that was to collect losses, big men, more losses, more big men, more losses, then 6 foot 10 Ben Simmons, a four man from LSU, at least to start.

It was how the process was to work, and it did. In Okafor, Noel, Simmons and Joel Embiid, the Sixers have collected four players who at one time were projected, at least, as the No. 1 overall pick in a draft. That does not include Dario Saric, another frontcourt player, who Brown hinted Thursday still could soon be a Sixer. In theory and that all drafts and plans are anyway that a small down payment on the Hall of Fame Class of, say, 2025. That how highly regarded those four players were, why the Sixers were in no visible hurry to win. They were worth all the tanking, or so said the draftniks. They would be superstars, or so said the analysts.

But how can it work?

How can the Sixers function with Okafor, Noel and Embiid, all centers, and Simmons, who is Brown vision of a successful four man? Who is going to do the outside shooting? Who is going to run the offense? Who is going to jump out and guard a versatile three?

mission is still going to be to try to get that positionally balanced team, and balance in respective positions, Brown said. I do feel the names that we have talked about will help us move forward a lot quicker. All day Thursday, there were reports that the Sixers were open to moving one of their excess bigs for the rights to Kris Dunn, the remarkable point guard from Providence, who went to Minnesota at No. 5. At some point last season, Brown clearly was exasperated with the chore of playing centers Okafor and Noel together. Soon, he will need to find room at the scorer table, too, for Embiid. If they could have dumped one of them for Dunn, a long, big shot maker with vision, the long, cloudy process would have begun to clear.

Instead? They drafted the versatile Simmons, then two perimeter players from Europe, Timothe Luwawu Cabarrot and Furkan Korkmaz, neither likely to deliver Noel the ball where he won drop it or to cause a stampede to the souvenir stand for replica jerseys.

Ultimately, the Sixers expect Simmons to be a point guard. He unselfish and has the necessary handle and vision. But when?

The Sixers have cap room and motivation, so they could yet form a roster with positional balance. Or they could hustle Simmons onto the point quicker than Brown was hinting Thursday. Only then will they have their best chance to draw value from years and years of lottery level big men.
