The dude is going to be a baller. Here's hoping the injuries are a thing of the past for him.

PER36: 30.6 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 3.8 bpg, 2.2 apg

22 years old.

Should have been a Cavs if he was healthy.
Imagine an Embiid, AD, Kyrie, LBJ lineup.. lol.

Fuck that toss coin. We almost had AD.

We're defending champs and we still have people talking about "could have been" draft picks...sigh...

Love to see him show the potential we all thought he could have. Also love hes brought back the dream shake. The guy just plays without fear, judging from his twitter its just his personality

Can't believe we took Anthony Bennett instead

Wrong draft

No Embiid until this season means no Love or Embiid last year, which means no Championship last year.

I'll take the 'ship.

I said if he was healthy before the draft.. meaning never injured in the first place with no injury concerns.

Some of us would like a dynasty if we can get it...

Fair point. But since we would not have known how he'd perform in the pros, it's almost certain we'd have traded him for Love anyway.

Then it would have been the worst trade ever.

Ah hindsight is quite powerful, isn't it?

As someone mentioned above, if we drafted Embiid, we certainly wouldn't have been able to acquire Love. I don't think Minny would've taken that deal, considering some medical scouts even believed Embiid would never make it on the court.

All things considered, I am thrilled that he looks as good as he does. He is truly a unique big and a lot of fun to watch.

Oh, I'm sorry...didn't realize we had no shot to win any more titles the next 3-5 years...

Give me a break...the majority of our core is in their mid 20s...

Embiid has never played 600 min in any HS, College, or NBA season. You guys want to trade the only Cle Championship in any of our lifetime's for Greg Oden's more injury plagued brother? Because he has been pretty good for the 1-9 Sixers? He has STILL never played in a B2B. He has STILL never played 26 min in any NBA game. He has 7 career games played.

Am I in Bizarro world??
