:hhh:The process was staring at that list of players general managers would build a team around like wtf

How you got thibs Wiggins Lavine kg mentoring you your rookie year and got only one more win then the process and only two more point per game with ten more minutes of playing time then him? Joel out there with nik stauskas and Carlos arroyo brother and he about to be the first all star slash rookie of the year since i don't know when

Not a knock to KAT to say that either. Embid is just going to be that good when it's all said and done. Imagine how advanced his game would already be if he didn't miss his first 2 seasons. Regardless if he stays healthy Joel will bring some sustained success to Philly down the line. He's in line to be one of the great ones and not even finished scratching his potential yet.

Love Embiid's play but let's not act like he's a true rookie. He's 22 years old, and had years of skill development, regardless of playing time, he could not get if he was still at Kansas.

By the time a player is 22-23 we have a strong idea of what his career is like. So his play is what should be expected of a taller Hakeem with a jump shot as he was billed at the draft.

I see everybody tryna get right with the gawd before its too late :wow::lawd:

Don't even, everyone on the coli and I mean EVERYONE--has been rooting for dude and wanted to see this. There is literally NO ONE that doesn't wish to see dude flourish. We waited forever for this. We all talk shyt on here, but we all basketball fans. Embiid is too good for basketball. He is.....The One.

Y'all must be joking about taking the African made out of glass over anyone in the league

The talent nd skill is there...:patrice:but Ill believe it when I see it sustained over a season or longer stretch too. His fluidity is still closer to this guy
