Do Towns or Okafor have a jumpshot?  Or are they just going to be a better version of  the Pistons' Drummond / Monroe combo when combined with some combination of Noel and Embiid?

Can MCW play shooting guard? If he can (he has the size), wouldn't it be obvious to draft Mudiay?

 ???

MCW has terrible shooting mechanics, so no.

Drafting Mudiay= bye bye MCW.

OK, I don't follow NBA too much outside the C's. I thought MCW had some handles and court vision to act dwade-like at the two spot, but I trust your opinion :)

I could see Philly offering Noel for a top 5 pick and young player in this draft. 

Maybe a top ten pick, not a top 5.  His stock is falling, not climbing. He would have to show a lot of improvement to warrant that.

it's still early.  if Noel can show improvement and that he can be the big man defender/rim protector a number of teams need, the market will be there.  the question is where those teams will be picking themselves. 

A team like the C's could use a solid defensive center but if they're in line to grab a center of equal quality or better, they'd just pick that player themselves.  however, if the C's surpass my expectations and end up with a pick in the 10-12 range, they may consider sending that pick and perhaps Young for Noel.

if that happens, Philly has MCW, Embiid, Okafor (or Towns), Young and a SF with the C's pick.  next year flip the lesser of Embiid/Okafor to another team that needs a center for a young PF and another top pick.

I thought Towns had a decent outside game. Could be wrong, though. I still don't think he's mobile enough for the 4.
