As we wrote about earlier in the week when Brandon Ingram came into Philly for a visit, projected No. 1 overall pick hasn’t worked out for the Sixers yet.
Despite the fact that Simmons went on Australian radio the other day and flat-out said he wants to be the No. 1 overall pick, people have run with this story. Now there is supposedly "a standoff" between Simmons’ camp and the Sixers, despite there being no real evidence of such.
- MORE SIXERS
- Sixers only mock draft, version 4.0
- Jaylen Brown works out for Sixers, raising more questions about a possible trade
- The case for taking Brandon Ingram No. 1 overall
- Joel Embiid confirms he drinks three or four PITCHERS of Shirley Temples per day
With Max abroad, Philly Mag’s Derek Bodner, Liberty Ballers’ Kyle Neubeck, and I discussed Simmons’ pre-draft decisions. We also talk about refusing to work out for anyone, for slightly different reasons than Simmons. Finally, there is some talk mixed in with listener questions.
(FYI: We’re going to try and record a few podcasts over the next seven days, considering the interest level should be pretty high.)
As always, if you like the Sixers, this is one of five podcasts for you:
