I still wonder if we would have taken Embiid if Philly and Orlando passed on him? We had Favors, Kanter and young Gobert at the time...Yeah that happens. Tanking is a process... need more than one bite at the apple. Unless you are San Antonio.

I mean DL has never passed a center in the draft... so if we didn't I would have been furious.I still wonder if we would have taken Embiid if Philly and Orlando passed on him? We had Favors, Kanter and young Gobert at the time...
Andy Larsen said a Jazz employee actually bragged to him about being right about Embiid being injury prone after his first injury or two.I still wonder if we would have taken Embiid if Philly and Orlando passed on him? We had Favors, Kanter and young Gobert at the time...
That's a strange comparison for a guy that has shown a pretty complete offensive game compared to a guy with no offensive game.I'm not a HS scout guy but I'm going to laugh when Cooper Flagg is just a glorified Ryan Dunn
His offensive game isn't complete at all. I think he's a great prospect with his athleticism and D, but I don't see clear game changer.That's a strange comparison for a guy that has shown a pretty complete offensive game compared to a guy with no offensive game.
I think he is gonna be a whole lot better than that lol... but its not just Cooper... there are like 7-8 super intriguing guys... assume a couple disappoint and maybe another guy or 2 emerge. Might be similar to 2017 or 2018 drafts.I'm not a HS scout guy but I'm going to laugh when Cooper Flagg is just a glorified Ryan Dunn

8 points on 3/9 shooting....
Yeah, and again, I'm not HS draft person at all. Just don't think his profile is generational prospect.I was posting for general reference on the 2025 draft prospects.
Right. Those guys only come around every 20 years or so... which is why you take the 10-14% chance at getting em. I think 2025 might be like a 5-6 AS type draft unless lots of guys disappoint.From what I'm seeing there should be a really good 5-10 players in the 2025 draft, but there isn't a can't miss prospect like Wemby or Lebron.
I agree. I'm pretty sure I can see what people are talking about though. He's got size, athleticism, and feel for the game. He still has to put it all together, but he MIGHT be one of the next great NBA player, it's just way less certain than other highly anticipated prospects.Yeah, and again, I'm not HS draft person at all.
