No, it's not and Shaq is in my top 5 :francis:

Embiid can hit FT's and has range to the 3 PT line...

Embiid has better fluidity, footwork, and a wider array of post moves copied straight from the Dream...

In terms of handles Embiid is probably better in the half court, he crosses guys up...

Embiid is a more versatile defender he has good hands to come up with steals, is a better shot blocker, can switch onto wings in the perimeter...

Shaq was stronger and more athletic he was 7'1 325 lb. please don't downplay that. He had a post game that had a good combination of power and finesse, and he could dribble up the floor in his younger days.

He had no game outside the paint awful, slow form on his jumper and FT's. In his era he couldn't handle and post like Dream, shoot like Ewing, or pass like D-Rob. If we're talking pure "skills" there are many bigs more talented than Shaq but none other than probably Wilt are as athletic and powerful, or played with a dominant bully mean streak mentality like him.

the guy missed 2 full seasons, i dont see how yall can brush this off like its nothing

playing 31 games under a 25 min restriction is not a good look for him this season at all (assuming his season is over)

It seems shady, they trade Noel away, then Ben Simmons is ruled out for the year with an injury that takes 3-4 months, now Embiid is out after they've let him practice for the last month?

They did an MRI on his knee already, and then let him practice with a torn meniscus?

If whatever is wrong doesn't require surgery then it's an excuse to tank.

That top 3 is almost impossible to catch up to though . And there's a lot of good players in this draft but not a guy you just blatantly tank for imo.

If Embiid isn't injured I'd rather him get a few more games experience in then sit him out the rest of the year to get the 4th pick instead of the 7th. I don't think it makes that much difference in the level of player u can get

Nah, they have incentive to be worse than the Lakers, which would be to get their pick.

If they don't operate on him or Simmons then they were just holding them out, if they do operate then they have the worst medical staff in the league because they let Embiid play a game with a torn meniscus and Simmons has been doing drills for months.

Imbiid won't be in the league long. I hope I'm wrong but this dude is still young and keeps having these injuries. Hard to believe it won't keep happening as he ages :NoHennyBron:

Yeah this is what I'm thinking they just need to shut him down for the year the Sixers aren't going anywhere this year. The thing is if they don't keep a close eye on Embiid he could end up like Greg Oden and that sad because he can ball.
