Joel Embiid is huge, dwarfs Okafor

[The God Poster]

Yoooo that beat knock

That cac dirty ass socks tho

 

[Flash Thunderton]

He's the same height as Hasheem Thabeet


That's one of the major reasons he went so high in the draft and why people are so high on him, guys his size generally don't move around the court like that. He has the mobility to play the 4, while being one of the tallest players in the league, realistically he could be the tallest guy in the league now, it's between him and Hibbert.

I hope is post game is good. If so he'll be a real spectacle to watch


He might work you on the post, then pop out and hit a couple 3s, then dunk on you


I want him to be great just to watch it, his game could be so filthy if he develops nice



At 7'3" God

7'0" without shoes and 6'9.5" without shoes, legit 7 footers are a rare breed.

As soon as I saw this thread title, I knew there'd be a "legit 7 footers are rare" comment from @Malta.

Embiid is gonna have his work cut out for him if he wants to be the best 5 in the league in the future, cause Gobert, Nurkic, Len and Whiteside are out here blocking shots like mad men, all these young 5s coming out the blue is just

And 3 of them are legit 7 footers

I think you're just used to comparing him to legit 7 footers, who are just from a different planet



Real 7 footers are abnormal

We have nobody left, dark times, dark times

Legit 7 footers are so rare that we can't afford to have one drop from injuries. We're facing such hardships now, why has God forsaken the followers of the post? What have we done to anger you

Legit 7 footers are rare, they stand out like crazy.

Legit 7 footers to me is what wingspan is to Jay Bilas


Drummond gets called a 7 footer, he 6'9.75" without shoes

 

[THE MACHINE]

Kristaps is closer to 7'3" in shoes, which is why him playing PF is such a


And Karl Towns next to him

Kaminsky is up there too His forehead is above Okafors hair

Kaminsky is up there too His forehead is above Okafors hair

6'11.75" without shoes, 7'0.75" with em, may as well round up and go with 7'1" in shoes.

How's he looked in summer league so far I only caught the heat/pacers game

19/12. Started off shaky but looked really impressive late. The question was if he could get his shot off in the league. Cant go too far in the future of course but he passed the first test.

 

[DeVanteSwing]

Not good


All the rumors are that his foot has stopped healing and they're going to decide whether or not to just clear him (he has no pain), or do another surgery.

It stopped healing?? I thought it wasn't healing as fast??

 

[AAKing23]

Word is people close to Embiid saying he might just say fukk it and play anyway, he's saying he feels great and ready to go now

I keep hearing dirk comparisons

Big men dominating summer league means ZERO...

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

whats the latest on his status?

We're hearing he's good

and in premium beast mode on top of that

The Sixers are in no hurry to rush him back
So we'll see his true potential next year

 

[DoubleClutch]

He's a center and roughly the same height as Cousins, DeAndre , Drummond, Kanter and Howard. All those dudes range between 6'9" and 6'9.75" without shoes on.


There are only a couple of true 7 footers in the league, Gobert, Hibbert, Embiid, Porzingis the Gasols. Dudes that are 7 feet tall without their shoes on.

Yea but if you ain't athletic and 6'9 you might as well be a pf.

I hope Okafor can be like cousins but I see him more as Greg Monroe
