The OFFICIAL don't draft Joel Embiid thread

And yet reasonable people will still disagree at times. Debating who's better than who in sports is hardly a self-evident, wholly objective exercise as a general rule (in some cases it is).

I disagree with your characterizations about Beantown in this case. From where I sit you are as guilty mischaracterizing his arguments as you think he is guilty mischaracterizing Embiid.

Just wanted to compile some stats, but here are Embiids numbers in games that he's received over 25 minutes (there were 9 of them).

13 PPG
8.3 RPB
1.4 APG
3.5 BPG
1.1 SPG
3.3 TO
3.4 Fouls

All while shooting 70% from the field and 68.9% from the line, in about 28 MPG.

Those are very impressive numbers, especially when you consider he only shot the ball about 7 times per game. If you aren't impressed by that, then I don't know what to tell ya, but Embiid is the truth. You can see him improve leaps and bounds each game. He's quite impressive.

Thats around the same sample size of all (total) of Kyrie's college games, and he got drafted #1.

No one ever outclassed every matchup thrown at him like Hakeem. Shaq? Robinson? Ewing?

shaq was too young. real bad a$$ shaq was 1st peat shaq which IMO was the greatest peak for any center.
also aging 37+ year old kareem routinely schooled hakeem. he was too tall for hakeem. and hakeem had hard time scoring on him.

bottom line even the great hakeem had his struggles. that's why most don't put him the top 8.

If you say so. Didn't take you long to descend into personal insults, did it? Par for the course.

Shot par several times at a couple courses. Never have shot under par on 18 doe.

Kinda bothers me. I think it's a mental block. When I was younger I had the same mental block about shooting in the 70's, a mental block I have since obliterated.

Closest I came to shooting under par on 18 was when I was -1 going into #16, then I bogeyed the hole. 2 birdies and 7 Pars on the front 9, 1 Bogey and 8 Pars on the back 9.

Gotta get more Birdies tbh. If Birdies were easy tho, they would call it, "Birdie for the course".

I think the most birdies I have gotten in a round is 5. I have gotten two hole's in one in my lifetime and you will never ever take that away from me.

If you want to talk Disc Golf I have shot under Par dozens of times and have gotten 1 hole in one. Disc Golf is kind of the easiest "sport" in the world tho so kind of not that much to brag about.

Shooting 5 under in disc golf is about the same difficulty as breaking 90 in real golf.

My best ever real golf score was an even Par 71 (done it twice). Don't hate on the course's Par being 71 either, that actually means it's harder to shoot even cuz there is one less Par 5 than usual.

The closet I got to shooting par was at Trafalga mini golf in Orem. Did manage a hole in one there, though. My date was impressed, though it didn't help me get a second one. She liked the intellectual types, not the jock types.

Lol in Highschool once on a double date I got accused of being gay by the girl I wasn't with because I destroyed everyone at mini golf.

"Wow are you gay or something? Why are you so good at mini golf? That's so gay." --said in a super angry voice

Also a couple years ago I went mini golfing in a group date type setting and I called a girl out on cheating. We were all playing for who had to buy ice cream or something and I was keeping scores and she was shaving a couple strokes off each hole. I'm hyper competitive and called her out and she was piiissssed haha. My girlfriend at the time acted bugged when I did it, but after in the car was like, "OMG, I'm so glad you did that. I noticed the whole time too. I hate that bitch."
