Thabeet was supposed to be the next great big man in the NBA.
Seriously what the **** are you talking about?
Thabeet was supposed to be the next great big man in the NBA.
i currently see him more of just a tyson chandler player with much a much better outside shot, better post moves, better passing ability, more mobility, better hops, better free throw shooting, better hands, and only 19 years old.
Embiid's best case scenario is becoming a possibly worse offensive player than he already is (Ibaka)? How is Ibaka comparable to Andrew Bynum? What?
Thinking Embiid shouldn't be drafted over Parker and Wiggins is one thing.
Thinking the Jazz should select Luke Babbitt over Gordon Hayward is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Yet everyone crucifies me....and all the other dumbasses on here get free passes...makes no sense.

The original discussion was that being a 7 footer in the league was rare.....which its not....I would dare say every team has a 7 footer on their roster.
You talked about his elite skills, which I took to be implication that it would have something to do with his NBA career. If you're talking about him being elite at college level, that has nothing to do with anything. Elite skills from college translate to the NBA...how often exactly?
Well if that was really all you said in the OP then no one one would have a problem with it.
You made it seem like if you are from africa and 7 feet then we should stay away from him and then started with the thabeet comps.
Saying you would take jabari or wiggins over him is not something that would have made a 15 plus page discussion
I would take wiggins, then jabari, then embiid if i were picking
This is redundant.
This is a discussion you randomly started having with yourself when I said that all you knew about Embiid was that he was African and tall. You tried proving that being tall isn't a big deal, proving my point that you're talking about a player you know nothing about.
on the app. square bizness.
Dunks and putbacks? I guess our standards of impressive differ. And his one assist is an airballed shot that a teammate put back.
