No thanks on Tyler ordanny don't want them at all. Wayne could be a decent bench player
Your thoughts on all three of thease Carolina players who i feel is underated in this mock draft . Hansborough has droped below us in second round , Ellington has even deeper the end of the second round. Green is not even projected to be drafted .
I feel Brown should consider all three of thease guys at bargin basement deals.
Im not saying we should draft them but should at least take a look.
Your thoughts

When you look at the way the 76ers have drafted in the last 4-5 years the team they put together without ever having the best picks is very impressive. A lot of guys are gonna go this year thinking it is going to be a weak draft. I trust LB to find the guys he wants in the second round.
With Tyler you are getting a very polished player. His bottom is like a reggie evens (who is a very productive player) and he could give us some minutes right away. He is going to bring a lot of toughness to whatever team he joins and he is going to put the ball in the basket a lot more than people think and at a much higher percentage. I am not saying he is gonna average 20 but you know he is gonna get a few offensive rebounds and take smart shots. It is hard to imagine him not getting 12.
I like green a little better then W.E. b/c of his d. The bobcats are a team built on d and anyone that can add to that is a plus. I just think green has a little more upside being so athletic.
I would like both Green and Ellington, both will be valuble contributors. We should draft both of them and trade our first round pick + Nazr to Golden State for J-Creezy and Brandon Wright.
I would enjoy that, too bad it wont happen
Hansbrough would be a nice pickup late in the draft. He could potentially be our new Duds--works hard and solid contributor, but a little limited.
Green is a do-it-all type of guy that doesn't really excel at any one part of the game. He'd be great in a uptempo system, but not really in ours.
Wayne Ellington is silky smoooooooooooooth. His jumper is BEAUTIFUL. I've always liked the way he plays and how he's developed. In his freshman year he was nothing but a spot up shooter. Sophomore year he learned to dribble and create his own outside shot. This year I see him taking it to the hole and leading the break and I seriously see an NBA player in him.
I'm amazed at how low he is on people's boards. He's going to be a very solid NBA player
All im saying is a undrafted Green is worth taking a look at . Like some one else said he is a very nice defender can rebound for his position and has up side . Not much to lose undrafted.
Ellington is being over looked . He has expanded his game and could be the best Carolina player on the board this year. I would have thought hes a late first rounder . Late second round he could be a steal . Hes being over looked.
Physco T as a second round pick is worth at least a look.
It s not like it's high risk moves only high reward. As all seem to be at best 2nd round picks at best.
Danny Green is more like Dudley than Tyler is, with a ton less downside. All three of them are going to give some team solid bench production right off the bat, with Wayne probably moving into some teams starting line up in a couple years. Danny will move back into that perennial 6th man role he rocked for his first three years of school. Tyler will be someone that plays lights out for eight minute stretches while a starter gets a rest and instantly boost some team's bench production.
I'd drool for either of them coming off the bench in Brown's system. Wayne I love, but we just don't need him. Tyler has the potential to become a lock down defender, and Danny is already close. Oddly, Tyler is a MUCH better perimeter defender than he is close to the paint. Tyler off the bench would be an amazing 3/4 for us, particularly if Ajinca takes a while to mature. Danny would REALLY help in those end game lineups to go small and spread the floor without trading shot blocking and defense.
Most importantly, if we put Tyler and Danny against the bench of almost any team in the East, maybe we'd frigging get the to the free throw line once in a while.
The comparison to Dudley is based on their positions. Green wouldn't be much more than a more controlled Shannon Brown.
I don't understand why we don't need Wayne. One of our biggest holes is the SG spot, and we could always use a solid 3point shooter.
One of Hansbrough's biggest weaknesses is his perimeter defense. I've watched the majority of the games he's played as a Tar Heel and I've always looked at him as a subpar perimeter defender. You'll see him get crossed by all of the people at his position with even a semblance of ball handling ability.
I stand firm. Of those three, we want Ellington. We don't need Hansbrough or Green, but I'd take them in the second round if we didn't have many other options
After watching Wayne in the Final Four (where he was named Playor Of, BTW), I don't see how he wouldn't be a gift to us at the late lottery. He has been way undervalued, he was all-tournament, all-ACC, 20ppg, great shooting touch, and a great guy. But hey, I don't mind his stock being low as long as we can still get him, but I see it rising. Maybe we get him at out lottery pick?
He's not necessarily a lottery level hype guy. But I'd love to see him in the late first round as he's definitely skilled.
I'm glad to see somebody else finally noticing how talented this kid is. He'd be great in our team system taking shots from outside and playing smart team defense
