This story starts with the 2015 draft. We played most of our last season without Embiid and ended up with a 15 win season and the top chance for the #1 pick. Despite that, we were unfortunate and ended up with the #4 pick. We were torn between two athletic SF's. Our staff thought one was slightly better but erratic, so we went with the safer pick. Eugene Theus from Duke who is a very good defender already as well as a proficient scorer. The other SF, Jeffrey Augmon, is a scoring machine from Michigan State fell to us at 19 (from the Hornets), so we got 2 great building blocks.

Then, we got called to trade away Tony Wroten and a 2nd round pick for the #20 pick which we did to get a player our owner loved, a professional rebounding PF, Willie Rodgers, from Arizona State who has a great inside scoring game.

We traded away the Moultrie for the 29th pick to the Cavs. They also gave us the Hawks 2017 2nd rounder.

Our entire war room was united on taking J.J. Maggette, a 21 year old PF from Memphis who is 6'11 244 and was projected to go top 10 but fell due to injury concerns. However, he is a talented rebounder who averaged 15 ppg and 11 rpg last year.

With our 2nd round pick #46 overall, we select a PG, Darin Stocker, from Oklahoma State who is a decent shooter. The Nuggets wanted him and try to get us to trade him right away. We decline.

I get multiple calls from multiple teams who wanted this kid. He doesn't look great yet, but he could develop into a useful player.
