Would you draft Joel Embiid again knowing what you know now?

So you're a team with no franchise player. You get the #1 pick. You can:

1. Draft Embiid and HAVE to max him every time without possibility of trading until the age of 34.

Or

2. Lose that pick for nothing.

Of course you do. He had a good run until this season, with a better constructed team around him during his peak years you're contending for a championship. Part of him getting injured was that he had to carry such a large load on offense because he didn't have a consistent secondary scorer.

If the Sixers just kept Jimmy and never gave Harris that contract they'd have been in the Finals 2 years ago. They also whiffed on a bunch of draft picks during the Embiid era.

Yes and cryogenically freeze him somewhere in his mid to late 20’s and only thaw him out for late playoff series.

Draft him, have him play half a season, then trade for picks.
