He's screwed and so is durant
Probably won't pass on Okafor in that case.
Joel Embiid? When Philly try to win indeed? LoL
Not surprised. Its funny someone here wanted us to trade our pick for him, that would have been a classic knick move

So it is quite firm that we will get Mudiay or Russell.

that be fine with me. We need talented guards just as much

Sad for Okafor. He does not want to see that.

best case is if Towns and Okafor are off the board Philly takes Porzingis and Russell drops to NY. This news just makes Russell falling more of a possibility.
wow sad... was psyched to see him but glad they caught it early..
might make sense for him to drop some weight...

thats another thing he has bigtime conditioning issues. I doubt he ever really makes a impact with his injury and conditioning issues
this is why its riskier taking porzingis and stein

stein is a reach at 4 and as for porzingis i never liked taking euro players that high unless its a no brainer
Might be why they are trying to get Dario Saric to come over now, even thought it might cost them more to buy out his contract.
Took me a little time to figure out that "Embodied" referred to Ebiid. Got to turn that auto-complete function off, Briggs.
Feel bad for the kid- never really got to see him play in college.
It would seem that the Hinkie analytic model does consider preexisting injuries for large players into the metrics he uses for evaluation.
Embiid had a stress fracture in his back, too, as well as a broken navicular bone in his foot.
This was all before the draft.
Just wondering how members of the UK nation felt about him on draft day, knowing he had a broken back and a broken foot prior to the draft?

I'm told that he does, in fact, have a brain.

I know he gained a lot of weight when he couldn't work out. Was it because he was injured or is this a chronic issue? Also, Walt posting he has back issues already makes him sound like the next Oden. Hope he heals and has a long career but foot and back problems kill careers for big men.

Went to look somewhere about the foot injury before the draft and found he had a back injury- had never heard about that.
Sounds like he was a great young prospect- and he might have dropped a bit because of the injuries, but how do you take a big knowing what you know?
He did gain weight, I think, and I thought I read somewhere last year that Philly was not totally happy with him about how he working to get better.
Sad for the kid.

I did not know that about Embiid's back. I was thinking the same thing about Saric. Also, it seems like there is more motivation to go big at pick 3 for Philly. They do have Wroten, Pierre Jackson, Canaan, Ish Smith, Jordan McRae, Glenn Robinson, and Hollis Thompson in the fold as back court players.

Embiid and OK4 have both been compared to Duncan and Hakeem at certain times...they would have been foolish, IMO, to take OK4 if Embiid was healthy.
I would approach Embiid's injury like I do David Wright's- you have to move on and assume (even though you could be wrong) that Embiid might never be a significant contributor to your team.

So true about the auto correct 😬
