I'd take Embidd over Towns straight up

[The God Poster]

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

Than it is to this guy:

You can't be watching the games

Joel has consistently gotten better...it's obvious his legs are coming back each game

 

[duckbutta]

So just so we are clear...

Towns averaged 18 10 1 his rookie year and played in all 82 games
Towns averages 22 12 and 1 his second season and has played in all 42

Embiid misses his first two years due to injury...

Embiid averaged 19 7 and 2

Embiid CANT play 30 minutes a game

Embiid CANT play in every game

So the coli is telling me they will take a guy who can't play in every game and puts up similar numbers to a guy who CAN play in every game AND can play more minutes per game?

Embiids first 28 games are very impressive for a player who looked like he was going to be the next Greg Oden...actually not even Greg Oden cause that dude did actually play in his first two years...

I remember Tyreke Evans first 28 games...they were talking about how that dude was revolutionizing basketball...

Damn I can only imagine if the coli was around in 2009 ...Reke would have been championed the next GOAT averaging 20 5 and 4 playing with a bunch of bums on the Kings his rookie year...

He was putting those numbers up with pre boogie kings to

some of u "coli scouts " are .
Obviously his footwork has improved and he has gradually gotten his legs back under him. His "fluidity" still has that shaky too big for his frame "Oden look" for my taste. I hope he do his thing tho

Yea. U clearly haven't watched a game.


Made Lebron look a little silly here. No one who's a "lil shaky" chases Lebron down court and gets a monster block from behind.




Career high 33 pts on 27 minutes, Sixers won by 1, 2-3 from 3, 7-8 from the line




Embiid outscored Towns here in 7 less minutes and the Sixers won by 2




It would be overkill by now if it wasn't so entertaining to watch a 7'2'' player dominant in every aspect of the game, to effortlessly go from playing like a 2 guard or a SF to looking like Hakeem in the paint on offense and Mutombo in the paint on D.


U should get the point by now. Dude can handle and move almost as gracefully as a lot of guards, meanwhile he's already got the best low post moves in the league, he's shooting 34.5% from 3 on 4.4 attempts per game standing at 7'2''. 19.7 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 2.4 bpg in 25.3 mpg, that's insane.

There's no way anyone with any kind of basketball IQ, that's actually watched him, could claim he's shaky, or compare any part of his game to Greg Oden. U discredited ur whole argument with that, dude is 7'2'' blowing by guards at the perimeter and you're saying he's shaky and reminds of u Oden.

If Embiid proves to be healthy until the end of next season I'd take him over KAT and AD but until then nope.

The NBA forced Hinkie out and gave the 76ers the #1 pick in the draft because they didn't want other teams to go the tank route like the 76ers did...But low and behold the shyt worked...Embiid is beastly and just wait until the Point forward version of Blake Griffin hits the court...76ers have a brighter future than the Twolves if Embiid remains healthy and they hit on these picks in the upcoming draft.

 

[AAKing23]

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.

Do I need to up all the threads on here in the last 3 years bashing the 76ers and the Process Don't get all brand new on me now

Find reasons to not enjoy watching sports, brehs

76rs when they get a slashing guard

I know a certain slashing Georgetown guard is hurting right now. Seeing the one piece he needed his entire career tear it up right now

 

[Ohene]

Embied over any 4/5 right now

nah...i'm still taking anthony davis yall buggin

 

[Ohene]

Anyone not named lebron I would take him over. His first year playing and he has the trash ass Sixer's winning games. If you exclude November where he was just getting his feet wet the Sixer have had a winning record since. And he doesn't even play 30 minutes a game yet. This dude truely wins you games and he doesnt even have any help. The only other rookie who had that much impact early on was lebron. Towns, AD, Wiggins all struggling to get to .500

you say this shyt like the sixers arent getting the #1 pick overall next year
fukk off. AD >
only thing ill give embiid is his height

Bro, you know damn well NO ONE respected those threads, stop it. Its why you cant youself pick out a name out of us here left that could say falls into that criteria. Breh we ALL want to see yall do good. Yall are getting props from all of us. Stop that woe is me shyt.

He's right though. All y'all shytted on Philly and gave other inferior cores props.

So when Philly picked Embiid nyggas was in here like how could you???

Point is, Embiid has been heralded as Hakeem;s successor.....who the FUKK was rooting against that???

Edit: And gotdamn your pity party shyt is the WORST nygga, your subliminals to your own squad are trash as fukk. You the type of nygga to be first in line and change the message of a game of telephone. I can't wait till Rubio gone from there and then they thrive.

 

[dappadonna]

How come embiid doesn't get the questions about his age, like the rest of my Africans do?

quit bein a STAN. I hate when nggas pick nd choose what to reply to. I already stated he HEAVILY talented nd SKILLED...what person that has any above average knowledge of ball CANT tell he has the opportunity to be a transcendent HOF player? U pullin up highlight tapes like ur an NBA scout. I respect his talent so we not debatin what he can do. "IMO"..."subjectively"....he still look too big for his frame. We can agree to disagree tho
