a lot of his movement reminds me of greg oden @ OSU and before his injuries

If Kyrie and Dion can't get Bynum the ball they better sure learn how to get him the ball down low.

yea I can see that too ... a very solidly built young man with a fair bit of dexterity but nothing over complicated ... a solid foundation to build an elite level NBA career from

Bynum couldn't make any adjustments whatsoever if the entry pass was slightly off target. This guy moves like a 7-foot tall gazelle. I don't think getting him the ball on the block will be an issue. And, there doesn't seem to be a single phase of the game where he doesn't have enormous promise... low post, high post, pick and roll, pick and pop, putbacks, transition, lobs...

He's the best center prospect I've seen since Shaq. He could be absolutely dominant if he approaches his ceiling.

I saw first take yesterday and Skip thinks Embiid could be better version of dwight with the potential to block shots like Ibaka :lebronamazed:

His floor is a rich man's Ibaka, imo. His ceiling? A bigger, stronger Olajuwon. Yep. I said it.

If Mike Brown can't get Bynum the ball the new coach better sure learn how to get him the ball down low.
Fixed.

"Watching Joel Embiid in workout for league executives in Santa Monica. Impossible to imagine passing on him at No. 1."

I'd be happy with Embiid or Wiggins. I just hope the GM don't fawk this up and draft someone out of the top 3.

I think I might require being institutionalized if Embiid is not the pick. That's how sold I am. At first, I thought just a pick in the Top 3 was enough. Then, I researched the situation and quickly realized how vital it was that we somehow lucked into No. 1.

This guy is just oozing with elite athleticism, skill, size and length. I still can't believe this is going to be our center. It makes passing on Valanciunas, Drummond and Noel totally worth it.

I think Wiggins will be a flop. I don't think Wiggins or Parker turn out to be nearly as good as people expect. I'd take the risk on Embiid.

I hope he's not injury prone like Greg Oden. NBA needs some exciting big man.

Nikkas go be mad at the Cavs for the next decade. All we needed was 1.7% chance to get this guy haha

i hope the Cavs take him.
if LeBron really leaves this or next summer he could potentially finally play with a real Center for once.
would be a perfect fit also:bowdown: :bowdown:

He's the clear #1 pick if healthy.

I would love to see him throw down a dunk like that while wearing a Cavs jersey.
