Embiid's dominance over OKC_ST

[Revolution 9]

Embiid keeps getting better, and better. You see why some think his ceiling is the highest in the draft.

erecting for embiid.

OK guys, if we do somehow get Embiid, I assume we'll be starting him alongside Favors?


Then who's gonna guard stretch 4's?

Send those 7 foot athletic beasts after them. NeUtralized.

It is not like the Jazz have anyone to guard the stretch 4's now but I certainly think Embiid has the mobility and athleticism to do that when need.
Right now, Embiid is the player I covet the most. I just think he is scratching his potential right now. I know the Jazz need more backcourt help but perhaps the Jazz can draft a shooter with the GS pick.

I think Favors and Embiid can both guard stretch 4's when they want. They are quite mobile. The best part would be that even though one would be on the perimeter, the other can still protect the basket. That'd be a nice luxury. Embiid would probably guard the stretch 4 though. He seems a little more mobile. Perhaps it's cause Favors has bulked up a little.

I'd be more worried about offensively. Even when Kanter and Favors are on the court there seems to be uncertainty on what each should be doing during different situations. Having Embiid and Favors both on the court could be counter-productive offensively w/ the main set as a Burke pnr. Although if Embiid becames the main hub for offense via post isolation, then it could work very well. Favors could be inside near the opposite elbow, and the other three could be camping on the perimeter. Plus, Favors could potentially get a lot of offensive rebounds within this set.

It's well documented by Locke that Favors struggled guarding quicker 4's even before he bulked up to play the 5 this year.

Better question

What stretch four is going to be able to guard favors or embiid?

Favors doesn't have any offense right now. With Embiid when he can perfect that elbow play it's a question of him being a step ahead of the help and being a good passer to drop it over to Favors for the finish.

We don't need to worry about that right now. If we somehow get Embiid then he won't be starting for at least 2 years and in year 3 he will be benched as soon as he has two no so good games. Marvin will still be on the team so I assume he'll guard the stretch 4's.
