Josh Hart on Philadelphia passing on him in draft: I wanted to go here but they took some European guy whose name I can't pronounce
Stefan Bondy: The Sixers passed on all the Villanova champions in the draft. Josh Hart said today he was “bummed” they didn’t take him with the 25th pick (he went 30th to the Lakers): “I wanted to go here. They were at 25. They did a draft-and-stash, some European guy that I can’t pronounce his name. But this is the place I wanted to go. It was right down the street. Unfortunately, they felt they wanted a draft-and-stash. But draft night I was a little bummed out that 25 came and I wasn’t there.”
Kristian Winfield: Josh Hart on Joel Embiid’s comments that the 76ers should be winning the series right now: “I don’t care. They’re not. We’re up 2-0. When the NBA starts basing the series on what we think, then I’ll care a little bit more.”
Clemente Almanza: Darius Bazley talked about SGA’s ascension to an MVP candidate “You can tell he wanted more. There’s some guys I’ve been around coming into their 2nd/3rd year like, ‘I just gotta play good.’ Shai was beyond (that).” (via Run Your Race/@TidalLeague) pic.twitter.com/55qb01haXA

NBA Central: Amin Elhassan says Bam Adebayo is the best defender in the NBA “He’s the best defensive player in the league, and it’s not even close. The moment you show me Rudy Gobert guarding Jayson Tatum — not on a switch, guarding Jayson Tatum, guarding Jaylen Brown — how did they bottle the Celtics’ offense in the second half? It was Bam Adebayo. It wasn’t just in help defense; it was Bam Adebayo as the primary defender on Brown, on Tatum, on Porzingis, even guarding Holiday a couple of times. That’s the best defensive player in the NBA, bar none.”
