Could that be due to the fact that the consensus #2 in his draft was Michael Kidd-Gilchrist?

Could it be that he was a defensive monster that led his team to a national title and crushed pretty much every advanced metric?

No.

First, go frick yourself for that comment, pussy. What a dick you are. And, I suspect, true chickenshit, not to mention dumb if you interpreted my post that way.

Second, I'm not worried about whether someone thinks Embiid is better or not. Couldn't care less. I was commenting on the "hype" referred to prior to the draft. People were unanimously jizzing over AD at 1.

You got pussy and chickenshit from that post? lol

You stay posting angry. This is a message board. Dude asked a question and gave his opinion based on his perspective. If this board isn't worth your time an you know you're going to get bent out of shape, why post? Obviously you have some personal issues you need to work through.

Nah

I said Garnett - Howard hybrid. The popular comparison at the time was Camby. I can link that shite if you want me to. It's nothing to take offense to. He's obviously better.

It's not a stupid question. I think the tards here just didn't understand it. People have been comparing Embiid to Hakeem. The most popular comparison for Davis at the time was Camby. So yeah, you could make an argument that Embiid was the better prospect coming out of college.

I think this topic is getting heated over semantics. The ESPN people hyped him as the best "big" man since Oden, they were referring to Centers, which Davis isn't.

A long time ago I made the decision not to say anything I wouldn't walk up and say to someone's face. I mean anything, anyone. Can you say the same?

Again, AD was the consensus number one pick. Embiid was not. That was my point. The names were merely a response to the "little bitch" comment. See the above paragraph.

slow down paw paw.

To the OP, Davis was touted as a "Once in a generation talent". Embiid, IMO, will be a 7th guy in rotation.

I can easily say the same. There are people here who know enough about me to know that. Not that any of this matters. I'm not looking to fight some bitter arse dude from the internet. This is a lose-lose for me for even responding, but you have me confused for sure. My response innitially was to some of y'all being overly sensitive. That's pretty obvious.
