It would be funny if the Jazz picks ANOTHER big when we already have Favors (3rd pick), Kanter (3rd pick), as well as Gobert and Evans.
Hibbert is a bad comp because Embiid an elite athlete.
Also is anyone else seeing this Embiid & Hibbert comparison????

He will be a better offensive player, both scoring and assists (passing out of the post). Defensively, I'll say the same. I would like to see more, but every time Kansas plays they are on Espn3.
Wow.. if he's the same defensively and better offensively than Hibbert, then he's definitely worth a top 3 pick IMO.
Hibbert did have a great game offensively the other day. From what I've seen of Embiid he has soft hands around the rim, very athletic, but free throws are suspect (like every big man these days).
One thing I'd like to see is MaWilliams, Favors and Gobert together in longer stints on the floor. Gobert could be that defensive presence with Favors that the Jazz need.
I like the idea of trying to see what Gobert could do this year. What have we got to lose?!?!
