I think he's going to be a superstar long-term. I think it was just frustrating for him not being able to play basketball. He's been fine the last couple months. Will be exciting to see him in summer league. It will not take long to shut up the naysayers who desperately want to compare him to Greg Oden.
I understand why you think this, and you could be right, but I honestly just don't think he will be that good.
When I was watching pre-draft material on the 2014 draft class I saw a guy who dominated over his college brethren due to his physical gifts, but who also looked to be quite raw, a little lazy and a bit of a bone head.
In the NBA guys rarely become dominant superstars based on freakish physical gifts alone. the guys who really dominate tend to have an incredible skill set, an extremely high Basketball IQ, or an unbreakable work ethic - I don't really see any of that in Embiid.
Embiid's only elite asset right now is the array of physical gifts he's been blessed with, but that isn't as big a benefit in the NBA as it is in college, and even those gifts are put to risk by his injury history. His skill set is versatile, but also very raw. His basketball IQ is very lacking, and his level of effort / motivation looks questionable.
I think Embiid will be a solid player, probably a good starter in this league. Not sure he'll be much more than that. I'm thinking he'll be a 13 point, 9 rebound, 2.5 block type of guy - kind of a shorter, more mobile version of Roy Hibbert.
