If the Cavs draft Embiid then we know that he really does have major back injuries and probably will have like a 4 year career

i wonder how this thread would've turned out if the Lakers won the lottery.
That's the thing. Back issues as a rookie. Historically that's bad. When I think of back problems, Larry Bird, Larry Johnson and Steve Nash comes to mind. I don't even think Embiid has worked out for anyone yet either.
Embiid or Wiggins for me. Embiid's back scares the hell out of me though and Wiggins is special defensively. He actually prides himself on that end. Clearly take one of them for #1
With the #1 Pick, The Cleveland Cavaliers select Aaron Gordon from Arizona State University.
I dont think Embiid fits our playing style, he could stunt him & Nerlens growth as players too since theyre similar. Also hes injury prone and Philly teams have HORRIBLE luck with injury prone players lol. Id rather have Wiggins or Jabari instead of him

Only way he flourishes is at the expense of every other young player they're trying to develop.Watch Kyrie flourishing this year
Not sure if you actually watch the games or just highlights .You stop.
Embiid can do it all.
He will be the most dominant Center in the NBA for years to come.
All around smooth.
Easy 25 10 guy.
you're saying anything
It would be the ultimate "I'm sorry" by the NBA.Out of all the markets for the NBA to rig the draft to send the #1 pick to y'all think they intentionally sent it to Cleveland?!![]()

Watch them totally give up on Bennett now that they have a shiny new toy.
There's no more hype left for Wiggins. He's proved he's a transition type run the floor/energy guy. His defensive abilities will allow him to always stay relevant and mask his deficiencies in the half court offense.I honestly don't think wiggins will live up to the hype.
He won't be a superstar.
Jabari reminds me Melo.
But Embiid reminds me of Hakeem the Dream.
If he is healthy teams will take him #1
Green has never dreamed of playing the type of defense Wiggins is capable of...
wiggins reminds me too much of gerald green, if he improves his jumpshot this summer i expect him to do what green did this season

You take that as a diss but I'm all for taking Wiggins #1
IT would be BYNUM 2.0
The Cavs can't afford to take Embiid. He is not a sure thing. He has potential to be a monster...but with his injury history it would tough to sell to the fans over Wiggins and Parker.
You are trolling with each of these statements. I was going to say ",right?" but I know you are, so I won't ask.Kyrie is elite, he will help raise all their levels.
I'm thinking Cavs will finish top 5 in the east
