So I guess the NBA draft isn't as ruthless when it comes to injured players as the NFL? Embiid will be out for what 3-4 months? Teams will still want him even if he doesn't play this year, in the first round?

Yeah, not many impact type players, so if a team believes he can still be one (which they will) he will likely go no lower than 4 to Orlando or at the very worst to the celtics or lakers

The shelf life for players in the NBA is much longer than NFL players and the teams at the top usually have no illusions about turning their team around in just one year. So you aren't going to see as many decisions based on what they can do for your team in their rookie year. And getting a top 10 player is really the only way for some of these teams to have a chance to compete, and most NBA people believe that a healthy Embiid has the best chance to be that 'move the needle' type player.

Those teams aren't expecting to do anything this year either which means they don't care if he misses some time.
