He looks really good so far. He's averaging 17.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game. All while shooting 48.3% from the field and 66.7% from three.

Likely to be the ROY.

With that being said, the 76ers are likely to pick top 5 again in this upcoming draft.

Simmons, Nerlens Noel, Saric, Okafor, and Embiid is what you would call a log jam at the 4 and 5.

Future lineup of:

PG - draft pick
SG - Luwawu (currently in D-league)
SF - Saric
PF - Simmons
C - Embiid

Maybe the 76ers had something going all along.

He's a beast, gonna be the highest vote getter on the 2017-18 GM poll for "If you were starting a franchise today and could sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?"

I have always been a huge Embiid guy. Hope he stays healthy for a long time.

Somewhere behind Davis, KAT, and potentially others.

He's already got 3 point range that Davis doesn't have, oh and a post game too. Tbt he's probably better defensively already too.

Noel will likely be moved in the next few months, he basically got a minor surgery he didn't need in protest of the team. Between that and his contract status they'll have to take a below value deal.

They have the Lakers top 3 protected pick too which looks like it might finally convey. This draft is loaded with PGs, the team will look very different in 9 months.

I know it's your mission to tear down everything Pels, but Davis is damn good. Just like you flip flopped on Rino and EG, you'll flip flop on Davis once he's not in New Orleans. You gotta wait awhile on that one though.

He doesn't make his teammates better. And I pretty much always have been fans of Ryno and EG..So try again.

he's 2 years older than towns, not quite as good (i love both), and an injury concern.

but im sure he will get more votes than towns

Said is a stretch 4 not a 3. Embiid is a franchise player. frick summons embiid is the man


You keep saric for the bench, trade Jo for bledsoe and Goodwin

Goodwin is not highly regarded. Any team in the league could have had him for peanuts only a couple days ago. He is with the Pels now btw the Suns released him.

He has really surprised me. I thougjt he was overrated in college. And that evn if he ever got healthy, he would not be anything more than just a guy to come off the bench, never anything special like he has displayed already.
