Where’s that same energy about Wiggins being the worst defender in the league

(Also something that you back flipped on since missing him in the draft)


Thats not "something I said" lol

He was literally the worst rated defender in the NBA...

Wiggins is still a bum though. Looks a bit better this season I guess lmao, but man we dodged a bullet not drafting him. 76ers were absolutely set to draft him #3 overall had Embiid not broken his foot right before the draft. Thanks to that injury we ended up with Embiid and the Cavs went with Wiggins instead 🙌

Lol @ missing him in the draft. MISSING!? We got EMBIID instead 🤔🤣

You were THAT upset Wiggins went #1. Don’t even try and deny it. And you talked up Wiggins pre draft being a defensive beast

That was 3 years after Embiid was drafted though, but yeah.

2014- Embiid #3 overall
2015- Okafor #3 overall
2016- Simmons #1 overall
2017- Fultz #1 overall


2 out of 4, still mad about trading UP to get Fultz and watching Tatum go to Boston with our original spot.

???

Wiggins was highly touted and was supposed to be an All-NBA and franchise cornerstone. Yes, we know this. Idk why you're acting like this is new?

We all wanted him in Philly because we needed a wing too. Cleveland became set on Embiid at #1, Milwaukee was set on Parker #2 regardless of who went #1, and that left Wiggins to Philly at #3.

That Embiid injury just before the draft was a fucking blessing for the Sixers. Wiggins has been a total disappointment in the NBA, meanwhile we ended up with an a generational superstar big man. Dodged a fucking bullet 🤣

For real lol, like am I wrong for being happy that we ended up with Embiid instead of Wiggins???

Who isn't happy about that now? Wiggins hasn't even sniffed the type of player he was supposed to be, meanwhile Embiid is the real fucking deal.


Plus, let me also add that had we drafted Wiggins he would have played his first and second year (Embiid didn't) and the Sixers probably wouldn't have been bad enough to get the #1 pick. That means they wouldn't have gotten Simmons.

Just saying, the Embiid injury pre-draft allowed the Sixers to get Embiid and Simmons. 🙌

He’s the most notable poster on this forum, he would without doubt have the most posts of all time in this sub and he’s fun to hassle for his views and takes on basketball.

It’s been like this forever

The fact you’re bringing this up like it’s anything new is pretty sad tbh
