    If I was forced to commit right now, I'd put Embiid #1. But conference play hasn't even started yet much less March Madness.

    I hope he gets drafted by a good organisation. Seriously would pain me to see him on the Kings...

    Kings won't select another C..

    they will go with smart or parker or wiggins.. who ever is available.

    Smart is miles ahead of I.Thomas as a player.
    Parker and Wiggins > Derrick Williams.

    We should just start losing big so we can get a pick in this draft, we just have to.

    Such fluidity and fleet of foot...You don't have to wait until a player has gone through Hakeem's personal training to see whether he will be a good post-player or not...The balance and coordination is pretty much naturally endowed and those qualities tend to immediately stand out. After 10 years in the league, DHoward still can't show such fluidity in his post-moves.

    For a guy with a year of basketball experience he's clearly gifted but I don't think he's the best available player in this draft still. If he improves I can see him becoming a lottery pick but I would still take Randle and Parker over him. Wiggin's lack of touches may hurt him in the draft because some games he's just not involved for long stretches.

    Just letting you know he's already a lock to go top 5 most likely top 3 he's far superior to Randall as a prospect. This kid has the potential to be the best center the NBA has had since shaq. He can easily be as good as Yao on offense and can be Hibbert in defense. How Hibbert plays Miami in the playoffs is what you should expect from this kid every game. He the best big man prospect iv seen in a long time I even think his potential is higher than Anthony Davis personally.

    The game of basketball has been missing a true offensive superstar center. We haven't seen one since Yao in 09, this kid is good for basketball and the NBA.

    Um...no.

    I'd rather not pick at 14 again.

    The more I see of Embiid....its becoming clear

    Some team is going to regret not taking him number 1. Big with his skill set is extremely rare

    Today, Embiid solidified his status as the likely #1 pick.
