well we pretty much know Wiggins/Parker/Embid/Exum are gone in the top 4.

That means one of Smart/Randle/Vonleh/Gordon will be available at 8.

Most likely Smart.

But if I had to pick one of the PFs it would be Vonleh

That would be fine. i don't like Randle.

Smart would be ok. but i'm not sold on him

I'm going with the fluid 7 footer with the #1 pick every single time.

The funny part about these videos is that they are like 5 years old and most of it isn't even Cleveland

I laughed first time I saw it though.

Again, that back.

I see the Hakeem comparisons but honestly it's a bit disrespectful. Hakeem was one of the best players of all-time

Not when he was 19, he pretty much looked exactly like Embiid.

Proof?

With comparisons, we should remember it's not always saying "X player will have as good of a career as player Y", but simply saying their skill set or body or potential is similar to other players.

That's pretty obvious

 

[big j 33]

It should be, but it isn't.

 

[dacomeup]

Embiid and Lord Wiggins have the highest ceilings easily.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Embiid and Lord Wiggins have the highest ceilings easily.

That's why they should go #1 and #2. All comes down to what we find out about Embiid's back

 

[awwsome]

That's pretty obvious

Then why are you saying its disrespectful to compare him to Hakeem when they have the same body type/skill set and athletic background at the same age?

Hakeem's stats at 19 - 8/6/2.5 on 60% 56% FT.


Embiid - 11/8/2.6 on 63% and 68% from the line.


So.......yea......

Stats eh. That's all you got...

Um read the first paragraph, what're you even talking about?


I'm not gonna find film for you too, you can educate yourself.

Idk how you agree with Big J's point than blatantly go against it but whatever.

So basically you can't back up what you said and now you're upset

Drummond had a very similar injury & returned this year without issue.

I've read several articles that flatly state the injury won't be a recurring problem.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, I just did back it up, you're being too base.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dwight, drummond.. I don't think embiid's back will be a lingering issue

 

[durantula]

LAC won the lottery with the kyric pick btw, cavs just owned the pick.

I see wiggy cavs parker bucks embid 76ers. All of a sudden the east will be fun to watch in the upcoming years

Proof?

He didnt lol. The hakeem disrespect
