I actually like a line up with Favors at the 4 and Embiid 5, because I think Favors could develop a nice 12-15 foot jumper, to be able play the high post and Embiid down low.
Just as the UTEP v Kansas game came back from commercial break saw Walt Perrin in one of the camera shots of scouts and the crowd, so our lead scout is watching this Kansas team in person.
SVG (Stan Van Gundy) just said during broadcast of Kansas v UTEP on NBCSN that he talked to scout at game, that he wouldn't name, but said scout told SVG that he would take Joel Embiid #1!
Derrick Favors hands down, he has progressed so much more on the offensive side than I thought he would, and he is already a force on the defensive side! Still young but I like what I see where Derrick is headed.
They are if Kanter starts shooting and making outside shots, I see Kanter as the pick and pop big, and Favors all around the basket work. Kanter and Burke need to run that same pick and pop at the 3 point line that D-Will and Okur ran. When Kanter proves he can MAKE the 3 point shot at a 33%...
I like the Joel Embiid kid, trade to get another top 10 pick. Draft Jabari with our pick #1 and the Embiid kid with that 2nd top 10 pick, him and Favors down low would be sick, and he and Favors have enough raw talent that they will produce offensively but defensively those two would be scary good!
Could you imagine for a second these young guys with the talent they have learning from John and Karl in their prime, being able to go up against them in practice every day, wow! That would be some good stuff to watch and see how much these young guys would develop even more.
