Joel Embiid. Would you take him over Wiggins and Parker?

Bad back, bad foot...

Welp

Take it with a pile of salt

Why would they want Exum? Is Kyrie leaving?

 

And to think Cleavland was going to take him 1. That is one terrible franchise.

 

That is sad. Hope he recovers to full health. I would hate to see another Yao Ming like situation.

 

He may not go #1, but I doubt he'll drop out of the top 10. Someone will take the plunge and allow him to rest/heal for a full year before debuting him

 

What if LA drafted him?

His draft position is going to sink like an anchor. No team wants to go through what Portland has gone through.

 

Yeah...7 footer with back and foot issues already?

Considering the recent number of big men that have not been able to fulfill their potential because of injuries, it should be interesting to see how this affects his draft position.

 

Like pushing an elephant off the Golden Gate Bridge.

 

Someone (maybe Simmons) was saying that this affects everybody. Celtics might not trade for Love if they think they can get Embiid. The bucks really wanted Jabari, but now the Cavs might take him. 76ers get kinda screwed over because Wiggins might not be left.

I still think Embiid gets drafted in the top 5. Definitely doesnt fall any lower than 10. Cousins, Drummond, were both drafted in that range. Big men are rare and someone is going to be willing to gamble on this kid. Probably not the Cavs (because they have to win now).

I could see Charlotte taking him. Boston (if they trade Rondo). I just hope he goes East in case he reaches full potential.

 

Spine fracture after playing 23 minutes a game in college. Now, he may have a foot fracture. It's a shame too, because we all know the Cavs would have been dumb enough to take him over Parker or Wiggins even if he would have stayed injury free after his spine fracture.

Boom goes the dynamite

 

Parker gonna get drafted #1 to CLE
MIL will still get Wiggins
PHI won't draft Embiid since they don't want to go through Bynum 2.0

Dude could seriously fall, like Rubio and Drummond did.

 

Welp, that sucks for Phila

 

Wiggins..Joel Embiid=Future Yao Ming/Oden. He won't last..

 

Joel Embiid might drop down to 25 and come to us lol

 

Navicular bone is the same one Yao had a problem with (and Ilgauskus before him).
