What ****ty luck and timing for Embiid... wow
Wiggins to me, has looked like the #1 pick in this draft for years now. I've never moved him from that spot throughout the process and now its even more likely he goes 1st.
Last month bettingshark,com had the odds of going 1st overall as;
Wiggins 2/3
Embiid 8/5
Parker 5/1
The Field 15/1
If anyone can find some updated June odds, I've got rep for ya.

With Chicago and Phoenix shopping their picks, the market might be soft. The future first could have lottery protection on it for a few years. Chicago and Phoenix have better picks to offer.

This is a great read.
Could Embiid be hiding potential chronic back issues, especially given that he had problems in HS (credit to The Thriller for scooping all of us)?
Wouldn't be the first time a player and his agent have been less than truthful about pre-existing medical conditions.

He confirmed that he's being checked by doctors again, but didn't comfirm injury or fracture afaik.
Also if Arn Tellem has another client who is projected in the 9-14 range and that client is getting a promise from Cleveland to be taken if they get the #10, then he might cooperate.
I guess it's real that something irregular came up in the medical documents. I don't think that this just was noticed 1 week after Embiid was in Portland. Getting leaked now it seems fishy.

Embiid's agent is Arn Tellum who made sure Kobe got to the lakers. The timing of this whole. Thing stinks.
I love basketball, and DESPISE the nba.

No way any of us last until next Thursday. There will be no survivors. Only scorched earth.

draft comparisons (best case)
wiggins = Scottie Pippen
Parker = glen robinson
embiid = Hakeem Olajuwon
exum = penny hardaway
smart = baron davis
vonleh = Sam Perkins
randle = Zach Randolph
saric = detleph schrempf
Gordon = Shawn Marion
McDermott = Wally sczerbiak
stauskas = klay Thompson
the question who of those who are best to build a franchise around?

I still think it's super weird timing.
Embiid had his physical and workout on the 11th and 12th in Cleveland.
There were conflicting reports about his medical examination back then.
Do foot specialists really need to look at his MRIs and X-Rays for a whole week to find a stress fracture?
I don't know.
Looking over the dx legal representation list, I see Jabari Parker being represented by Arn Tellem.
So Cleveland had incentive to keep quiet until they had gotten Jabari in for a physical and workout.
The reports that they "traded" medical reports of Parker for Embiid's with Milwaukee makes sense.
