Anthony has yet to show he wants to play in the low post :francis:


Drummond is trying to learn, Embiid was master class status while being 7'0" without shoes (Drummond is 6'9.75" & Brow 6'9.25" without shoes).





:francis:
Drum is still growing he'll get to legit 7ft :myman:

Nerlens
3rd pick
Lakers pick(top 3 protected)
Heat pick(top 10 protected)
Saric(best Euopean player in FIBA)

They got assets, worst case scenario Embid never touches a basketball again, but they trade for Boogie or Paul George next year.

next years draft sucks so those picks from the Lakers and Heat might never amount to nothing.

I'm going to save this message because I'm of the assumption that after a year of hype and another NCAA tournament the players in next draft will receive a bit of hype also.

I predict the 76ers and Celtics will be sitting lovely....remember the only 3 touted as high picks prior to this last season were Jah, Mudiay, Turner.

It may just be me but the only thing that matters is their height in shoes...I wouldn't be surprised if he's already 7 ft.


Embiid is 7'0" without shoes, Nerlens Noel is taller than Drummond without shoes :francis:

Real 7 footers, as in dudes that are 7 feet tall without their shoes, are rare.

And these dudes are rare I hope Embiids foot heals up hate to see a potentially big time big sidelined again....Hopefully Big Centers don't go the way of the NFL RB.

They won't vanish, there's no other sport that 7 feet tall people can realistically go into, the problem right now is that the most gifted ones are getting hurt.

Right now, the next best legit young 7 footer behind Joel is Rudy Gobert, and he doesn't have the offensive potential of Joel. He could develop, but he used to be a wing player so he has a lot of catching up to do.

There's no chance that Hinkie trades Noel now, right? How will this setback impact who they draft at number3?
