And Now Joel Embiid Could Have a Fractured Foot

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.

It's over this guy is an injury machine. What team would risk this.

That cost him some money

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.

yea have fun with him being hurt every year and his back always being a issue, when have center's who have had injury concerns in the past ever make it???

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.

yeah right bro. Do not draft an injured big man and do not draft any white boys if u want to win.

Think he still goes to #3 at Philly at worst.

It's just an era of injuries now because overtraining and overplaying

Get used to major injuries from 75% of players and all sports

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