The Philadelphia 76ers have the 12th pick in the NBA Draft... which player should they take?

The 76ers will pick Jeff Green

With the NBA changing to a fast paced, up tempo "small ball" style of play, the 76ers need to pick someone who can play the sf/pf slot (Which there is a huge hole in the 76ers lineup). Someone who can bang with the big boys and stick with the slashing sf/pfs.

Jeff Green fits the bill as he would be the perfect athletic player to play alongside break out star Igoudala and smart veteran PG in Andre Miller.

As someone said Green who is compared to Odom and Salmons, has the size, foot speed and length to matchup with big power forwards and small forwards like lebron and vince carter.

The 76ers are already an unselfish team so with the addition of Green who is an above average passer, guys like Willie green and Dalembert will get good looks and can score easily.

Green has to put on some weight to match up with PFs like Duncan, KG, etc but im sure he'll get there soon. His shooting is a work in progress but his form looks good so far.

Here's what the 76ers lineup would look like

C Dalembert

PF Green

SF Iguodala

SG Wille Green

PG Andre Miller

I also have a extensive conflict of words with most of the judgements previous, yet once I had to decide on one participant for the 76ers to soak up accordance with what replaced into ultimate it may maximum in all threat be Aaron gray. He performed college ball interior the state of Pennsylvania and he's exceedingly plenty an NBA-waiting vast guy. I assume the 76ers to commerce a minimum of one among their 3 first around options, alongside with Phoenix doing the comparable.

I think it would be foolish of the 76ers not to take Acie Law with this pick because they are in need of solid young point guard to play alongside of Iguadala and Korver for years to come. Acie Law might end up being a steal at the 12th pick, because he was extremely clutch in college and he has great court awareness. Years down the road he may end up as a better player than mike conley jr. i know he's not as flashy as conley is, but i believe he's a better shooter and he was the leader of his team in college, and stayed all four years. It would be a mistake for the 76ers to pass on Acie Law at no. 12.

Josh McRoberts looks like a good bet to be picked here. Hes not flashy but the 76ers lack an inside presence to play with dalembert and they need someone who can demand some attention down on the block

I really think that Jeff Green would be a steal here. It would be great and his up-tempo would fit perfectly with andre iguadola and andre miller! I thought he would be a top ten... he is skilled and athletic.

NBA Comparison: John Salmons/Lamar Odom

Strengths: Versatile player who’s all around ability creates mismatches for opposing teams … Above average passer with great court vision to recognize open teammates … Very good ball handler for his size … Defensively Green does a excellent job defending players on the perimeter … With his size and length he is capable of guarding a multitude of positions on the floor … Unselfish player almost to a fault … Shows a good post up game that Green uses to take advantage of smaller defenders … Sees double teams extremely well … Excellent finisher around the basket with a soft touch and springy legs … Smart player who possess a high basketball IQ … Moves extremely well without the ball and is a threat for backdoor alley-opps … Owns tremendous body control, capable of hanging in the air and finishing after contact … Decision making ability is very good, rarely does Green make mental mistakes during crucial moments in a game … Excellent finisher in transition where he has the explosiveness to finish … Good rebounder who does a decent job of using his arms and leaping ability to get rebounds out of position … Has three point range on his jumper, an area he has improved greatly upon this year … Solid attitude in his approach to the game and will be a strong locker room guy in the NBA … One of those select players who possesses a feel for the game that can’t be taught …

Weaknesses: While improved this year, Green still isn’t very comfortable shooting from the perimeter … Struggles to consistently create for himself off the dribble where his moves remain undeveloped … Has a tendency to force passes that aren’t there leading to turnovers … Will need to continue to expand his comfort level in shooting from mid-range … Needs to develop more of a scorers mentality at times he doesn’t assert himself on offense … While he possesses a great deal of small forward skills, some may consider him more of a pf … Would benefit greatly by improving his overall quickness and foot speed. This would aid him greatly on defense and allow him to gain better separation from his defender offensively … Defensively Green has a habit of gambling too much by reaching, leading him to pick up fouls …

This would be fantastic!

Jeff Green would really help the 76ers defensefly!!! Now he can really, in a couple years, gaurd superstars... it would be a while before he gaurds players like jermaine O'neal, Pau Gasol, and of course Tim Duncan.

Acie Law would fit this team perfect now that they lost A.I.

they have andre miller, no big need for law. too high to take mcroberts. jeff green is the best player available, so the 6ers take him.
