I’m honestly so happy with this pick. Labaron Philon at 22 feels like a straight-up steal. A lot of mocks had him going way higher, even in the lottery, so landing him here is crazy value.
He’s got real offensive juice — can score, can create, can shoot — and you can see the upside right away. Yeah, there are questions about his size and defense, but at this point in the draft you swing for talent, and Philly absolutely did that.
And honestly… if Philon pops over the next two years, we might literally be saying we won the McCain trade
Also lowkey, if we manage to trade up for pick 31 and grab Isaiah Evans from Duke… we might have just rebuilt the whole guard rotation.
If this hits… people are gonna look back and wonder how he fell that far.
Let’s goooo
