Joel Embiid!Excellent pick. I'd have Embiid top 3 or 4 in this draft. I couldn't resist the match-up nightmare he provides. Too big and strong

With the 9th pick, the Toronto Raptors selected the beard-o himself...James Harden!!!

With the seventh pick, BKN selects Kawhi Leonard.Risky.....Yeah, Kawhi is out until at least February.That would put him 7 months out since surgery? Maybe, I think March is more realistic with a ton of load management to save him for a playoff run.

I had him in the 3-5 range. I was torn between Embiid and Luka for quite some time. I was leaning to Embiid over Jokic for team defense over team offense thinking the defense could be a valuable separation point in the top 2-8 stars. Embiid is the only real difference maker defensively among them (aside from Kawhi who has injury issues). Plus he is an unstoppable one-on-one scorer who draws fouls at a massive rate. All interesting advantages over the rest of the pack.

Can obviously score, and puts lots of pressure on teams with his ability to draw fouls, but his playmaking while in Brooklyn makes him a real weapon in this format.

All interesting advantages over the rest of the pack.This is basically what it came down to for me. The ability to really smash teams inside in a shooting league, and the ability to anchor a defence. He's a 7'2 280lbs beast with a 7'6 wingspan, and he has a genuine ability to put the ball on the floor against defenders. Fun times.

I just don’t trust that Embiid can hold up over a full season and playoffs.
