What bad timing could bge any worse--Im taking Parker #1.
I'm real surprised. He looks as sturdy as Oden did.

What is with these guys? I really like Nurkic--he's a below the rim player and I think he has much better chance of staying healthy yet also being able to put his mark in this league right away. I like his nastiness his skills(hes like a 6-11 280 Zach Randolph who can also block shots) people are sleeping on this guy.
The athletic 7 footer boy its either hit or really miss.

As long as the back is good, I still think there's a decent chance that Cleveland picks him one. Wiggins makes sense for them as well.
This is why you don't take him ahead of Parker and wiggins

There were bigger injury concerns with Blake Griffin entering the draft than there are with Embiid. The timing sucks, but at least Embiid got in a few quality workouts before the injury.

Noel and Len dropped last year to 5 +6. Id say he falls out of top 3 but wont fall past 5.

Noel isn't the talent Embiid is and there are questions about his ability to score. Len didn't have a chance to work out for any team. Embiid reportedly wowed the guys in Cleveland.

Jabari seems like the real deal. Irving/Waiters/Parker could be a very nice core for years with the proper coaching. Might be enough to get Kyrie to stay.

Right, they drafted Irving who essentially played a half a season as a fresh men because of injury.
Guess what, Irving played 71 games his rookie season, and failed to play more the 60 in his last 2 seasons
Sixers are probably crying- they had their heart set on Wiggins. Now if Parker and Wiggins go 1 and 2, Embiid falls to them, and they have no use for him because they have Noels.

I wouldn't say they have no use for him. We haven't seen Noels play and even then, he was scene as non-threat in the post when he was drafted. They can always try twin towers approach with Noels facing up. Or they could go Exum.

I told you....BUST! As much as like Randle while in Kentucky, if I was an NBA GM, I would stay away from him too.

Hes actually the best player in the last draft and will be a top 5 NBA player within 2 years.
Wow. That sucks. Hopefully his career isn't taken away by injuries like Odom's.
Didn't realize this was bumped.

It's the new trend on this board recently.
Since it's bumped.... there's a report that the Sixers want Noel to be a center. How stupid are they? I weigh more than Noel and I'm more than a foot shorter. The guy needs to be playing power fwd. Embiid is their center for the future. They have the pieces and don't know what to do with them. They already have a center, power fwd, a point guard and a small fwd prospect on the team. They still have Wroten too who can be a Jamal Crawford off the bench.....why are they tanking when the 3 top prospects in the draft are centers and a point guard.
Dumbasses

Hate the bumping. Too many guys want to show that their constant negativity was right for once. Not the case here but in general it sucks.
Hopefully he is healthy next year. For anyone trying to project the floor of a draft pick's NBA game, though, it's simple.
The floor for any player who has never played a game in the NBA is that he never will play a game in the NBA.
