After a lot of thought I am leaning towards trading Favors and Burks to get Andrew Wiggins. If we stay at #5 I am leaning on taking Embiid even though he is a risky player. I think Embiid and Wiggins can be franchise players along with Exum. I see Gordan, Vonleh, Parker, and Randle all as good players but not franchise players. I think if your going to win a championship or compete for one you need to swing for the fences, unfortunately there is always that chance you strike out and your back here next year trying the same thing all over.
Joel Embiid-The most talented player in this years draft became a huge risk with foot injury. Shot 62.6% for the season and didn't attempt many outside shots but made 7-11 from midrange and beyond. He is a defensive force on the inside with good size for a center. Has only played basketball for 3 years and has improved dramatically each year. My choice for best player if he can overcome foot injury.
Andrew Wiggins-Didn't quite live up to potential and hype in college but is a solid defensive player and showed improvements on offense as the season progressed. He should at the minimum be a good player but has the possibility to be a franchise player. He will be a two way player which is very important.
Dante Exum-Good lateral movement and speed for a 6'6" PG, about the same size as Kobe Bryant when he entered the league. Strengths is driving to the hoop, creating mismatches, and passing ability. Is a risky player do to lack of high level competition. To become a franchise player in the league he will have to improve his outside shot.
