    And Now Joel Embiid Could Have a Fractured Foot

    And the NBA Draft gets turned upside down.

    I just mentioned this in another thread. There is no way I would touch this guy with his injury history, besides the league has become smaller. The days of dominant big men are over, now it's all about small ball, spreading the floor with shooters, and shooting a ton of three's. Other than Dwight Howard (who I think is good, but not great), I can't think of any dominant centers. Today's game is all about wings and guards.

    cavs should be thrilled with this news, that would have been a train wreck had they picked him, Wiggins needs to be the pick here.

    He will fall in the draft, and who ever picks him will hit the lottery.

    Another Greg Oden. And anyhow, the NBA is not a big mans league anymore. Even if healthy taking him in the top 3 would have been idiotic.

    Still a top 5 pick. Nobody wants to miss on a potential 7 footer that can run the court. I have no idea how he'll pan out.

    What are chances Cavs get lebron now? If they do get Lebron how does that influence their draft pick.
