So there are conflicting reports out there.. read this https://www.nj.com/sixers/index.ssf..._joel_embiid_not_going_no_1_to_cleveland.html

So lets say Embiid has significant back issues.. how far does he slide?? If you are on the clock and he is on the board, when is the risk worth it?? Also does this help Vonlehs stock if true? Would Cleveland, if wanting a big, be more willing to trade out of the number 1 spot ???
Which one is the smokescreen? Lots of questions!
 
Maybe 1-2 spots. I doubt he falls out of the top 3

Teams don't want to become the next Portland.

But for me personally, if he were to drop to 5 I probably still wouldn't touch him. I'd go with Exum/Smart/Gordon. We need players, not Greg Oden.

Bigs with back issues are killer red flags for me. It's like a hot girl with nasty BO. Doesn't matter how hot she is, the BO is a deal breaker

Plus, Embiid looks a lot older than he supposedly is.
 
If he gets passed by the cavs then I bet he slips to Utah.
Bucks would take the leftovers of Wiggins or Parker. 76ers would take Exum. Orlando takes Smart.
I'd take Embiid and trade him to the highest bidder.

wait is he one of those who's age is in dispute??
 
Everyone in Africa is lying about their age because they're savages and there's no civilization whatsoever.

Im always talking about this. Everyone wants to draft Embiid because he is young and has tons of upside. But this Kid is not 19 years old, he is probably 23, 24 or even 25. No one would draft Embiid TOP 10, if he was entering the draft as a 24-25 year old prospect. He would probably go into the second round.
