Joel Embiid Will be #1, If Jazz get #1

[Deleted member 365]

Can you guys imagine this lineup:

PG -
SG - Kobe
SF -
PF - Love
C - Embiid

The life of a Laker fan. It wouldn't shock me if they tossed LeBron in at SF.

I don't think the lakers can sign 3 max players...

And they won't need to draft a SF. They can just sign Gordon Hayward.

FWIW...nbadraft.net now shows Embiid going #1.

fwiw nbadraft.net makes bold statements.

That number one pick is looking like so long ago.

Dat lottery.

If ANYONE is the coach, Tomic will not sniff any real playing time. He'd be end of the bench in the NBA.

If players like Scola, Varejao, Pachulia, Antic and Splitter have space in Nba, then Tomic could have his impact too!

It is clear that you underestimate his offensive skills.

Sounds like a good argument.
It's nothing new that guys who are good between their ears find a way to be successful.
Defensively I don't know because I don't watch him play often at all so I don't know how mobile he is. Things from eurobasket that come to my memory is that he's a little bit slow on his feet. Still a valuable backup Center in combo with a more athletic 4.

What you are not understanding is that Tomic does not want to play in the nba.

We all know he is a defensive liability but who cares, he could play easily in Nba.

Maybe he just don't want to play for the Jazz. If he would have been drafted by the Lakers, the situation would be different?

I think we should try at least to trade his draft rights.

Ok but why should the jazz decide who to draft this year based on a guy who doesnt want to wont play for the jazz?

What I wanted to say is that we have already enough big men.

Honestly I'm not sure the Jazz gave up definitively to bring Tomic in Nba. Scola arrived late in Nba too.

Anyway, if the Jazz decide to draft Embiid then it means they admit they made a mistake in drafting Kanter 3 years ago.

I think that with Embiid it's all about potential too...so it would mean waiting other 3 years for his development.

Mistake? Who would you have had the draft? Kwahi? Thomposon? That's all the Jazz missed on, and those guys aren't worthy of the #3 pick. Just a terrible draft.

We only have two (Favors and Kanter) and the rest are just filler that could be easily replaced. Despite saying that, I still have Wiggins and Parker higher and am on the fence between Exum and Embiid at #3.

They will take him and never look back. He is the next Hakeem!

All other players are secondary. HE is the best prospect since Durrant and Lebron. Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy is a freak!

Hakeem had the best moves ever any Center has ever had and you comparing a guy who is new to bball to one of the GOATS at the center position.LMAO. He could also beoent he next olankandi also
