The only thing stopping Embiid is he is a what would be technically a jv euro.
With an domestic college birth and then drafted as a us domestic pro.
Not knowing or having the cognitive wherewithal about the domestic market.
That we expect him and embidd can actually dominate at will.

If not for the euro disconnect,...
If Embiid was straight out of a state domestically. We would be seeing wilt like level of play. Yet since Embiid is a technically a euro. He plays with what would be described as neutered domestic ferocity style of play. That same shyt wilt to Kareem to dr j went through. Where they were in that era that wanted the game to be played a 'certain' way. With rules constructed around it. Embiid plays like a scrubbed idea of euro play that incorporates this so called certain way. That is the only thing separating Embiid from being and dominating like wilt.
