Am I the only one who would still take a chance on Embiid at 5?

- Back ? questionable
- Foot ? questionable
- Age ? questionable = Ceiling questionable

Are you for sure bro ? Trade Favors or Kanter + 5th Pick for Wiggins or go and draft one of Smart and Gordon. That´s about it...
 
Don't draft Embiid.

Raw and needs PT to figure out the game, but will never get it because of injuries. From what I've read, best case he becomes Andrew Bogut in terms of # of games played. Even with that, he will never have enough consistent PT to fully learn the game. If he drops to us at 23, of course I take him, but no way I take him within the top 10.

They say 4-6 months.
Won't be back until after Christmas, then it will be pushed to the all-star break. Then whichever team drafts him will say they're going to be very conservative with his recovery and he won't see NBA game time action at all. On a positive note, the year off will do wonders for his back.

Would be a fantastic pick for the Lakers. They're not going anywhere next year. Nash can keep Embiid company in the MASH wing at the Staples Center.

and we are going somewhere next year?
 
Too bad I was looking forward to seeing Embodied develop no matter who drafted him.

That's my feeling.
Lebron has been very wishy-washy, with reports saying he's upset about Arison's lack of spending this past season to better defend the title. So the Cavs likely smell blood. This is their chance to show LBJ they have a team in place to contend. Irving has been promised the MAX and I think it was going to be a good sale to present Embiid as a bright prospect at the 5. Now the injury has changed all that. They need a healthy center and the best one available for sale is Favors.

I like Derrick. But as many have said, he just doesn't have any fire. He didn't show any evidence of being a defensive "stopper" and his offense is just ok. Favors + #5 is pricey for the #1, but it gets the Jazz a potential franchise player and #1 option (whether that is Wiggins or Parker). Jazz should do it. But man, if Dennis takes Wiggins and he isn't >>> Parker, Lindsey will need to enter the witness protection program.

Sheesh how many other all-stars does this guy need? Yet another reason LBJ will never be in the discussion for GOAT.
