I sure would like to see Embiid with more minutes. Hopefully he leans not to foul.
In 12 minutes of play yesterday;
10pts
5rbs
4fouls

Super duper upside.

I don't I want him to be available when the Jazz trade Kanter or Hayward or Favors for a top 5 pick.

considering Burke is taking FGA's every other minute(11.2 in 22mpg), and Haywards not far behind that ratio (15.0 FGa's in 36mpg) im wondering how Wiggins who doesnt seem to be a volume shooter would fit playing SG between them, seems like it could be a good mix

also if this happened the jazz starting backcourt would feature the most talked about player in CollegeBB 2 years running, National Media would eat it up

I really like that Wiggins has the golden ratio of shooting 34 FTA's to 62FGA's the jazz need a player like that for the playoffs, burks is close but i dont think hes a starting SG.

Hey, this guys back!
 
I think I would trade either Kanter or Favors for Embiid. It would give us a legit center, leaving us with an All Star-caliber player at both PF and C. Then with our own pick, take a scoring wing.

It's very early, but yeah, Embiid could very well end up being better than Favors or Kanter. I'll wait a few months before saying that, for sure, though.

I think it's likely that he's better than both Kanter and Favors. Plus he's a real center. He's still raw, but he already reminds me of the Boston Celtic version of KG--a long 7-footer who runs the floor, has great hands, has great timing on defense and makes great passes. If we could get him with our pick and trade one of our bigs for another pick in the top 10, we'd be set.

With all the upsides commentators are raving about, I just don't like the hectic pace he plays at.


I'd take Burke's slow but measured pace any day.

I was mostly joking about the Jazz being able to get another pick to draft the kid. If he keeps playing well he won't be available for the Jazz to pick. If he puts up big numbers, then the Jazz could pick him with their pick but then they miss out on Wiggins/Parker.

I would trade one of the big three to get a chance to draft him. He is cheaper and I believe has a chance to be better than all three of our big three. I was hoping he would be under the radar and the GS pick was another lottery pick so we could package the GS pick with on of the big three to select him.

there is no way in hell that i would trade kanter or favors plus Hayward for Embiid.

Giving up Hayward would accomplish 2 things:

1. Makes sure we don't have to match a ridiculous offer in the free agency

2. If he's traded at the trade deadline, it ensures us a very bad finish to the season. (i.e., worst or 2nd to worst record)

I agree that trading Hayward is an option, but not with that trade. Hayward could get embiid by himself IMHO.

If it were to the Suns then I could see it. They have 4 first rounders this year. Time to find a trade that they like and scoop up dem draft picks.
