I'm right!

Also with Wiggins, how many Canadians can a basketball team have and still be good? This is a legitimate question.

At least they're guaranteed to be tough ass motherfuckers lol.

UPDATE- he will be undergoing surgery on a stress fracture in his foot

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Really curious to see how far he drops next week. 

 

[snipezo]

I hope the Cavs suck hard so they can have two future Canadian stars nxt yr.

guess it happened, but im not so sure bennett will be a star lol. could still be a solid player though.

BTW, this is going to sound like a "told you so" thing, but this stress fracture for Embiid was another work overload thing. If yall remember a while back when everyone was saying how he is healthy and should be the first pick, I was saying that it's not the actual injury that's cause for concern but it's WHY or HOW the injury concerned is what's the concern. This is just more proof to that.

I don't think I could justify taking him #1 even with the upside.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I wouldn't. Stress fracture in the back, fracture in the foot, all at 20 years of age. It'd stay away and just go for a healthier top prospect like Parker or Wiggins

 

[Pugz]

stress fractures in the foot of a seven footer is always a big deal imo

Favors and 5 for #1?

Interesting

 

[.infamous]

I'd do that if I was Cleveland

 

[elcheato]

No way in hell I do that.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Favors and 5 for #1?

Interesting

Heard that as well.

 

[Pugz]

thats not that bad of a deal and turns jabari into the #1 pick

 

[RipCity32]

No way in hell I do that.

Why? Would probably end up with Embiid anyway.

 

[elcheato]

Nobody knows that for sure, and if Embiid is truly hurt, the Cavs probably don't want him period. It's about the value of the #1 pick. It's worth more than that.

 

[Pugz]

five and favors IS good value..

 

[bosoxlover12]

Why? Would probably end up with Embiid anyway.

if they really want Embiid, they wouldn't trade down. His ceiling is the highest of everyone in this draft; if they trade it, it means they would rather not take Embiid.

Phrasing is poor, but y'all get the idea.

 

[RipCity32]

But he is going to drop with this injury.

 

[bosoxlover12]

According to whom? How do we know this isn't the Bucks just trying to get him to fall to #2??

 

[RipCity32]

Cause the Bucks would be complete fools to not take Parker or Wiggins.
