Hakeem has never taught a big man that actually had a good base of moves and an understanding that the hook shot is the foundation, the moves are just a means to get the hook off and the counters are what you do when they take away the initial hook attempt.

As soon as I saw the thread title, I was going to @ you :mjlol:

But you're already on top of it :mjpls:

Embiid was the chosen one, it was said that he would destroy the jumpshooting bigs and broken down centers, not join them :to: Bring balance to the post, not leave it in darkness :sadcam:

And this is the reason I wanted the CAVS to take Embiid...He has no choice but to at least be a good starting center and potential to be a superstar.

Noel gonna play a WHOLE season at center, only doing cleaning up work..... then he's gonna be expected to play PF the next season. Philly will then waste a whole season of trying him at the 4 - finally realizing it's not gonna work.

There goes 1-2 seasons down the drain plus a lottery pick. On the contrary if Embiid can't stay healthy, that'll be 1-2 seasons down the drain plus a lottery pick too.

:sas1:


You don't think an Embiid and Noel pairing could work, provided they both stay healthy?

I think realistically Noel's future is as a defensive PF, he just doesn't have the frame to put on mass and bulk up to center size, he's not much bigger than the Brow or John Henson. I think Embiid's game is versatile enough that he and Noel could work together on offense, as long as they have shooters at the 1-3.
