OT: Joel Embiid to miss another season

[James]

embiid wasn't 'pure potential', he put up numbers in college. and was much more versatile than okafor ( who i love). embiid had an extended mid range jumper, he could play pick n pop as well as rolling strong to the rim. its obvious to anybody that embiid exhibited defensive prowess that okafor never did at duke. its a shame his early career has been riddled with terrible injuries

Should I just accelerate this thread to the point of us arguing about how Brimah compared to both Embiid and Okafor has the potential to be a very good player in the NBA. With his size and athleticism, his lack of rebounding can improve in time and yada yada yada... thread is derailed

Drummond #9, never forget.

Embiid was going to be special but a big man with foot problems is a disaster, really hope he can find his health but tend to doubt he will.

Hope the young man has a chance to show the tremendous talent he displayed in college at the next (NBA) level. But as we know bad wheels don't go far in the NBA.
