The Backcourt Starts at 1:00 Out: Tre Donaldson, In: Elliot Cadeau, who is a much better creator, and that's what this team needs. Cadeau and the general UNC'ness of North Carolina are hard to separate but he was a five-star who plays hot and should benefit from not having to fight for usage with RJ Davis. Defensively his size puts a cap on what he can do but he gets after it: more Xavier Simpson than Eli Brooks. LJ Cason is the backup point, we guess, though he may defer to Gayle as the on-ball player in those sets just because Cason is more of an off-ball threat than Roddy. Cason was a three-star because he was coming in unready, but could take that huge jump. This year is the freshman Jordan Poole year, not the sophomore Jordan Poole year, IE frustratingly forgivable. Gayle isn't going to shoot 9% in the Big Ten again, but he's what he is at this point: a guy who can get to the rim and create fouls/hit his free throws. We kinda want him coming off the bench since he can fill in for a lot of what any given starter leaves, but isn't a great fit with the other projected starting four. The other wild card is their new five-star. Trey McKenney lost 20 pounds in the offseason so he might not as much of a burly 2/3 as he seemed at OLSM. He's still Gayle at this point in his career, though with some big point upside. Not a one-and-done but should be ready by Tournament time. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes, Wings and Frontcourt Starts at 32:15 Starting at the three again will be Nimari Burnett, who is Nimari: a usage soak who is there to end good possessions not start them. He began to show a bit of creation late last season but that only got him from 90% points assisted to 84%. He is very good at what he does, and unlikely to do more. His backups are extra guards, and Winters Grady, who should be Just a Shooter at this stage, and more down the road. Oscar Goodman arrived midseason last year, but he's supposed to need another year of development. Patrick Liburd is the kind of guy we wish was 2 years older right now. At the four is Yaxel Lendeborg, the #1 player in the portal, who is going to be a cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome, though not better than either of them. He is very strong and impossible to stop once he has you off your feet, but he's coming from an offense where he had to be the alpha creator every play and he's better as the second option. Can he guard up to three? Probably in the Big Ten; there was some distance at the Combine between him and Wolf in the agility drills, but Yaxel came out like Johni: agile enough to be among the who can play the four in the NBA. Backup to Yax is Will Tschetter, the rarest bird in college basketball these days as a five-year player who stuck around despite the likelihood of less playing time than last year. They were working on making him a shooter on the move. He has to be hidden away defensively, but this lineup has plenty of defenders to do that. Frontcourt is two guys instead of 1.5 now. We are obsessed with the upside of Aday Mara, who is 7'3" with impossible length. He would have had the highest block rate in the country by some distance if he played enough to qualify; he didn't because he got sick (Mono?) but when he returned they had him playing 21 mpg and UCLA got much, much better. Then he got benched. Sometimes he plays soft—was that a sick thing, a Cronin thing? He's also got a soft touch and a good feel for passing. May be as good as Yaxel if he hits his ceiling. Mara's platoonmate, and the probable "starter," is Morez Johnson from Illinois, a crazy rebounder with great ups and shot-blocking ability. Offensively he's a finisher. Defensively there's some hope he can be switchable. Going to make it very hard to go inside and give Michigan an edge from the five that they haven't had since...? 3. How It All Fits Starts at 1:11:34 Can they play the bigs together? Matt D says the NBA is going back to three forwards, and Michigan's best attribute is they're Old North Carolina, where they're just going to out-size everybody. That's doable if they can get Mara to be the player we think he could be, since he can create and so can Yaxel, and you can get away with blow-bys when you have a guy like Mara who blocks shots without leaving the floor. Speaking of floor, this team at worst looks like a four-seed, with considerable upside if a) Mara can play more and maintain his numbers, b) Cadeau cuts down on turnovers, c) Gayle finds his shooting, d) Cason blows up, or e) McKenney blows up. Think they can cut down on turnovers from last year because Wolf just had a bunch that were unforced, and because instead of forcing everything to the rim they can shoot bad twos and rebound them. They also just have more room to pass to. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 2:02:19 Oregon 30, Penn State 24 Penn State could do nothing on offense until the 4th Q when they had went on an Oregon-is-exhausted march, then hit a great PA shot. The INT that ended it was that pyramid formation Lanning loves. Frames punted from the plus-36.  Ohio State 24, Washington 6 Went about how you might expect a team whose OL/DL are their issues would go against OSU, IE they got six points out of three red zone trips and then it was 17-6 in the 4th Q and they had to go for it on 4th down. OSU did a great job containing the QB run. Indiana 20, Iowa 15 I know that touchdown; that's the Anthony Carter play!  Iowa had chances to win this but lost their QB near the end and also went Cover Zero one too many times.  USC 32, Illinois 34 This felt like two good teams going at it, though USC was short on guys in the secondary and played bend-don't-break until they either broke or Illinois pulled out a Philly Special. Coulda been a blowout but Illinois fumbled in the endzone twice. Minnesota 31, Rutgers 28 Rutgers hits their program high when they have to play a Big Ten West schedule. Good solid quarterbacking until Athan Kaliakmanis had to face pressure, which is like Pedro Serrano trying to hit a curve. Northwestern 17, UCLA 14 Down 17-0 to Northwestern was probably UCLA's best shot at winning a Big Ten game this year.

September is about to be here and the Sixers still have not reached agreement with Quentin Grimes. At this point, should they divert to another plan and try to sign Malik Beasley? Beasley was described as no longer being a target in a recent investigation and is about to hit free agency late, where a bunch of teams are left without any money to sign him. In other news, Tyrese Maxey stays in the gym and is adding something good to his game this season. Lastly, the Rico Hines Runs are off and running in LA, and some young Sixers players were seen participating including VJ Edgecombe, Johni Broome, Justin Edwards, Trendon Watford, and more!

This week, we dove into the aftermath of the NBA Draft and what the Philadelphia 76ers' front office did with their picks. How will their two draft picks affect the future of the team? Austin Krell from OnPattison.com joined us for some great analysis and a discussion about the future of the Sixers' draft picks and how this offseason may look. It was a fantastic discussion!But first, the guys dove into some Listener Feedback about former Philadelphia Phillie Eddie Waitkus who was murdered decades ago by a stalker, and also ourPhilly sports history story from a few weeks ago about Russian hockey. (Approx. 4:55)From there, they discussed what the Phillies may do before the trade deadline that is approaching, and if Max Kepler should be optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley to allow talent such as Justin Crawford an opportunity to prove himself. (Approx. 9:50)The guys also talked about the one national sports personality that they have a love/hate relationship with. (Approx. 22:35)Philadelphia is finally getting a WNBA team, which the guys discussed as well. (Approx. 32:40)How did the Sixers handle this year's 2025 NBA Draft as they have new talent in V.J. Edgecombe and Johni Broome? (Approx. 54:55)What the guys threw down on the Table this week was a great, in-depth discussion with Austin Krell from On Pattison as they dissected the Sixers Draft. What will the new talent bring to the team in the future? The fan base appears disappointed that they're “running it back with old talent.” Losing Guerschon Yabusele to the New York Knicks. How will Eric Gordon's re-signing impact the team this year?  All of this and much more this week on the Table!

Hour 2: Ike, Spike and Fritz wrap up their thoughts on the Sixers draft and react to the team taking Auburn star Johni Broome with the 35th pick on Thursday night.

It is officially the first day of the NHL Draft. Our Philadelphia Flyers have the 6th overall pick. Who will they choose at 6, or will they move on from that spot? A lot of speculation has been building as we get closer to the Flyers being on the clock. As we usher in the Flyers draft, we also wrap up the Sixers' NBA draft, as they selected center Johni Broome from Auburn. Could this be the unofficial goodbye to French standout Guerschon Yabusele? The Phillies finally score a run in Houston, but it was too little, too late as they are swept by the Astros and fall back to second in the NL East.

The 94 WIP Morning team is upset about the Phillies' recent losses to the Astros, scoring only one run in three games. They're worried about the team's hitting- the pitching was beautiful. Guys like Bryson Stott might not be who we thought they were. Rob Thomson gave a cop-out answer post-game saying the Phillies are “trying too hard.” The Morning team also discusses the Sixers' draft picks, VJ Edgecombe and Johni Broome. Who will be the best guard for the Sixers: newly drafted VJ Edgecombe, Tyrese Maxey, or Jared McCain. Is age affecting the Phillies' offense? Will Dave Dombrowski wait too long to make a trade? Hear some of the best Drops of the Week and Time's Yours!

The 94 WIP Morning Show is quite impressed with VJ Edgecombe and how he carries himself- he really seems like a winner. Johni Broome, the Sixers' 2nd round pick this year also sounds like a winner, being one of the best players in all of college basketball last year. Can the big man produce here in Philadelphia?

The 94 WIP Morning Show praises VJ Edgecombe, who seems like a winner. They also like Johni Broome, the Sixers' new big man. The show wonders who will have a better career: Edgecombe, Maxey, or McCain. Spike Eskin thinks Edgecombe will be great. They also discuss if the 76ers could have traded Joel Embiid for a pick in the 2025 Draft.

Following last night's Phillies game, Rob Thomson offered what the 94 WIP Morning Show feels was a cop-out explanation for the team's offensive struggles, stating players are "trying to do too much because they care." Hear some analysis of the Sixers 2nd round pick, Johni Broome. Also, hear some of the best audio from the past week, in Drop of the Week!

The 2025 NBA Draft is officially in the books, and the Sixers came out of it with two dogs who will be loved here in Philadelphia. They drafted VJ Edgecombe with the 3rd pick, and then Johni Broome with the 35th pick. Today, RB provides his final draft thoughts and grades for the Sixers!ADVERTISE WITH US: https://forms.gle/BHCmXV9XZs41CKPGACHECK OUT THE NEW MERCH: https://phillytakewithrb.com/Playback: https://www.playback.tv/phillytakewithrbPhilly Take Discord: https://discord.gg/vEXh2AqpVenmo: https://venmo.com/phillytakewithrbCashApp: https://cash.app/$phillytakewithrbSubscribe to Philly Take with RB on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6xo8_BSzZJVYfWEqEt1GwINSTA: https://www.instagram.com/rbphillytake/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RBPhillyTake

The Sixers wrapped up there 2025 draft by selecting Johni Broome in the 2nd round to join V.J. Edgecombe as a part of the Sixers draft class! One thing these two have in common are they are winners in college basketball. Is this philosophy of drafting winners a sign that the Sixers are making a culture change that we'll see as soon as next season?

In hour 2, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are discussing the Philadelphia 76ers draft in totality after round 2 wrapped up last with the Sixers selecting Johni Broome. With Broome and V.J. Edgecombe being winners in college could this be a culture change with these younger, hungrier players? And, Dave Dombrowski tells Phillies fans to not expect a new bat added to the lineup at the deadline!

Things Discussed: On early: Talkin Detroit Tigers. How this went down: Yax started with college as a fallback, Michigan visit shifted things. NBA side of it stayed—if anything the measurements at the Combine improved his NBA stock. But Michigan convinced him. Laid out the red carpet. Coaches went to the Combine to support him. Did we out-recruit the NBA? Yes, because the NBA wasn't recruiting him, and we are very good at recruiting. Good sign for the future: Dusty May knows how to convince a fringe NBA guy to come back to college. Going to have an advantage when they're the competition because we're always going to want these players more than the NBA for the same money. What does this do? Cross between Danny Wolf and Johni Broome. Danny measured 6'10.5, but Yaxel is 6'9", much better about turnovers, much better free throw shooter, better face-up guy, close to that level of defender. Team: Cadeau and Yaxel are your creators, need Cason to be a breakdown threat, need Gayle and Nimari to be your finishers, and then center is Johnson's defensive presence. Big Ten next year: Purdue is still #1, they are going to have a 7'3" guy from Belgium so they don't die whenever TKR gets in foul trouble. Michigan is in that tier with them. Proven shooting on this roster? Uh, Tschetter? Need three or four of Cason/Gayle/McKenney/Burnett/Grady to be that. Minutes? Cadeau most of them at the point with Cason taking some. McKenny backup up Gayle and Nimari at the SG spots, Tschetter backing up Lendeborg, Johnson/Mara at center. Upside: Team is all about creation: Cadeau, Lendeborg are creators, Gayle and Cason are secondary creators, McKenney has that upside. Rotation: 8+2 like Dusty likes. Think they'll work in the freshmen some but Goodman probably redshirts unless there's an injury, Grady gets maybe 10% of minutes as a spacer depending on how the others are shooting, Trey develops into a major part of the rotation by season's end but needs time to adjust. Defensively this team will be a nightmare to play against.
