    Embiid is 3 inches taller than Drummond. Don't question me on stupid things. I watched them side by side from the second row on two occasions.

    3. I was touting Embiid when he was picked 3rd in the draft on this site long before you even joined. I touted Embiid as the next big thing years ago on this site, so don't question my loyalty to Embiid. I've watched Embiid play live twice already against the Pistons.
    You aren't watching the games if you don't think Embiid is a good mid-range shooter, and Derozean is arguably the best midrange shooter in the league, he struggles from the 3 point line.

    The idea that anyone who isn't a good 3 point shooter is a bad shooter is about the dumbest thing I've heard, their are many great mid-range shooters who didn't shoot well from the 3 point line, Larry Bird only shot 33% from the 3 point line.

    see I dont think drummond is really that tall either though. drummond is 6'9 without shoes emiid 7'1 with shoes so prob 6'11 and a half to 7 feet without. but all in all these guys are huge yes

    Embiid is not 3 inches taller than Drummond, they are both around 7 feet, watch them standing side by side the last 2 times these teams played - you need glasses.

    Not gonna argue with you over stupid shit Mornio. Embiid and Drummond aren't the same height. I've actually stood at ground level 10 feet away from them. Have you? Thought so.

    And I'm not using Embiid's 3 point shooting % as a measure for his midrange game. He's not a midrange shooter. Wade is a midrange shooter. Durant is a good midrange shooter. Derozen is a good midrange shooter. Lamarcus Aldridge is a butter midrange shooter. Curry. Thompson.

    You gonna sit here and compare Embiid's midrange shooting to those guys? Lol. Embiid is not even a top 30 midrange shooter in the NBA, so calm down son.

    Done here.

    Won again.

    Damn.

    Aldridge and Wade are both good midrange shooters and shooters in general, and neither is a good 3 point shooter, thanks for proving my point. Again, I watch all of Philly's games and Embiid has been a great, not good, mid-range shooter. I doubt you've watched more than 1 philly game all year, your comments are ignorant on this issue. I watched Drummond and Embiid stand next to each other from 2 feet away with the TV camera, they are about an inch apart.

    I think my favorite dumb argument you made was that Carmello would be starting, he's not good enough to come of the bench for a single contender.

    Said Carmelo off the bench won't last. And I am right again on that.

    You think Melo is gonna take a back seat to G league players like PJ Tucker? I play with better players than PJ Tucker at my gym.

    Learn the game.

    lol 25-1 isn't even a good number for this bet because it will NEVER happen, he doesn't have the "star power" to win it...period

    Carmello can't defend, his problem isn't his mindset, its his knees.

    If he can average 30 and 15 he would have the star power. He's at like 28 and 13 now.

    Embiid is down to 10-1 at most books, I think there is value at anything more than 8-1

    You riding morinos dick so hard . He never said that he said he lives in philly area and watches every game. You tell me seems like what he said is true . Getting embiid at the odds when he posted the thread to what they are now have proved his point alone. Fuk off lol

    Good post. I grabbed it at this too at William Hill, it’s down to 7-1 here. I knew it would improve with health, and then I can sell it back to prop swap for profit.

    Really if he can lead to a top 3 seed with his numbers and stay healthy he’s got a top 4 chance in my mind.

    Leonard, embid, Giannis (think his teams record by seasons end will lower his odds) and then probably the favorite who I grabbed at 5-1 as a hedge for embid.


    Everyone else right now, is way behind these guys.

    I agree, I've watched Milwaukee a lot this year, I don't see them finishing with that great of a record. I also think Giannis's jump shot is an issue, he need to get in the paint to be effective, and he takes a lot of contact and has injures. Embiid is a good shooter, he can produce without taking a lot of contact.

    I think there's good value on Leonard at +300 as a hedge on Embiid - Toronto will likely finish with the best record in the East, if not the league, and most analysts tend to pick the best player on the best team. Leonard in a contract year will want to put up big numbers and since he's great defensively he won't just be judged by his stats.
