Just curious who the other coli brehs would pick I'm partially on the Embiid bandwagon but I'm also on the Wiggins and Parker bandwagon to and can be swayed either way especially if the CAVS would actually hire a coach.
Who would you Pick in the draft if you had the #1 pick

I'd take Anthony Bennett..... Oh wait...
What he said
Joel Embiid
Legitimate franchise player potential, we watched Serge Ibaka basically change the entire course of a series with his ability to block or alter shots in the paint. Embiid has that type of potential on defense with an actual post game to go with it, all you need to do is imagine if DeAndre Jordan and Ibaka had post games on par with Cousins and Jefferson, in a frame 1" shorter than Hibbert.

dangle it for a trade for anthony davis.
But on the real draft either parker or wiggins. Joel has back issues and big men with issues pre draft are a scary scary sight. I know drafting either wings i'im going to get between 18-25, 5,5 for 9 years. I'll take my chances on that.

Same back problem Drummond had, it's a common injury for people that are still growing which would explain why Joel is now 7'1".
Just the way he is able to move too man... not normal for a legit 7 footer
really? Didn't know that. props on the info. So this isn't chronic like with Oden and his leg being shorter than the other or some sam bowie shyt

And he's 7'1"
Dude just glides out there, that wingspan and standing reach in the paint defending is going to be scary.

Didn't @Walt or someone bring up the fact last year that Kyrie had NO idea how to get the ball to Bynum in the post? If they plan on sticking with Kyrie then it seems to me like Jabari is the right pick. He can handle the basketball and is good enough offensively to create his own shot. In terms of fitting with the Cavs I'd go 1. Parker 2. Embiid 3. Wiggins....overall I'd reverse that, but Cavs need to make the right choice here and go Parker.
There's also a good chance Embiid is the next Bowie/Oden

Nah, it's a fracture, Emeka Okafor had the same problem coming out of Uconn and he was pretty durable after his 2nd season.
It can heal just fine, if it were a disc/hernia, it would be time to worry.

As long as my medical staff can assure me Embiid back is not a recurring issue its Joel all day.
Kyrie will have to learn, cause if they draft Embiid he's their franchise player, not Irving.
Every player could be a bust, but the law of averages says one of these 7 footers gotta be a hit sooner or later
