Embiid to the celtics (ESPN Mock)

[TwinTower14]

I think Embiid will slide to sixth.  Last year, Noel was the best player in the draft and the prognosis for his knee were more encouraging than Embiid's foot and back.  The majority of the mocks had Noel going first right up until the day of the draft and he still slid to sixth.  The same will happen with Embiid.  All the rumors of Philly, Cleveland, and Orlando still taking him are just posturing by those teams.  There are too many talented players availabe for them to gamble on Embiid.

Completely agree - That and his agent is only passing his medicals to LAL and BOS....no Owner will sign off on a pick in the top 5 without those reports....

Except for Cleveland, every team drafting ahead of the Celtics has a young promising center and it would be dumb for Cleveland to pass on Wiggins and Parker.
