I'd say Embiid has to miss the majority of the remaining games.
I think he can jump over them with starter's minutes. And Embiid has only played 31 games. Can he really win it if he doesn't play, say, 45 games?
Willy moves to #7 on the NBA rookie ladder
7. Willy Hernangomez, New York Knicks
Last week: No. 8It would have been impossible to imagine a few weeks ago, but Hernangomez is one of the two best candidates, along with Saric, to replace Embiid as Rookie of the Month in the East. Hernangomez is at 11.4 points and 9.4 rebounds in just 22.8 minutes in February along with 56.1 percent from the field. It’s already a relevant conversation because the long All-Star break plus the short month means the Knicks and 76ers each have only four games left in the month. Those 22.8 minutes have improved his season-long average to 15.0, still just 19th in the class.

Ron Baker might even be a guy we can look too as a rotation player and possibly a starter at the 2. This draft week bring us at least one more potential starter at the 1, 3 or 2 spot. I believe Melo will fetch another young player if he's traded. We gotta really grasp the fact we are building this thing from the ground floor. This is the way it's gotta be the next two off seasons at least
Baker sucks( maybe a 12th man) and if he is ever a starter on this team then count us in for another lottery
He can be a solid rotation player with his ability to play both guard positions but i never see him as a starter. We have 2 starting caliber players right now in the young core of Willy and KP.
I did say rotation player, possible starter right? 😧
