According to Draft Express, he is still the top prospect.

I think because he makes it look easy, it appears he isn't trying.

But I think WHEN he maxes out his potential he will be dynamite.  The most important player in this draft.  If somehow and someway he ended up in Boston, we would ALL be ecstatic.

Oh and he had 19 rebounds last night...just saying.

The last few games he definitely has been more aggressive.  He looked really dynamic last night, especially in transition.  But for me and I am definitely not a expert but I have man love for Embiid.  His posts moves are already better than half the centers in the NBA, he is a legit 7 footer, runs like a deer, blocks shot, nice stroke from the foul line and everything you read, he is a nice kid.

I could see Embiid being number 1.

Don't think Draftexpress updates that often.

I agree - you see the second half last night? He is incredible, I agree with Simmons and Jalen Rose he has a chance to be the best C in the NBA, he has that kind of potential....

it was updated yesterday at 7 pm.

That said they have the Bucks taking Wiggins that doesn't necessarily mean they believe Wiggins is the top prospect.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Bigs -
Wings -  Lebron James
Guards -

Actually it does, they state on their mock drafts that team needs are NOT taken into account.  This means that they have ranked him number one when compared to other prospects.  It does not matter which team has the number one pick.

Wiggins is just a few steps away from being a major superstar in the NBA... just needs to work on his dribble a bit, shot, and add some muscle...

I feel the same with Embiid but Wiggins has just a higher ceiling.. They will go 1 and 2...no doubt

I think Embiid goes number one, he has the highest ceiling.  He is just starting out.  Wait until he becomes a pro, get's on their weight program, nutrition etc...he is going to be a star.  Two things that jump out at me, his post moves and he already is a good passer out of the double team....

Embiid and PJ Hairston with the C's two picks....hahaha...

The thing is bigs seem to be the most injury prone once they got the league, very rarely have we seen small forwards get injured especially too picks. I say wiggins or Parker still top pick. IMO

If we get wiggins, and keep Bradley and rondo, I say this upcoming year or next year, we have the best on ball perimeter defenders in the league. Wiggins has the potential to be the best wing defender in the league, just needs his toughness to boost n bulk up.

I would rather Wiggins or Parker with Willie Cauley Stein and trade Jeff green, then Embiid with Jeff green.

My two cents.

Chances are high that if someone takes Andrew Wiggins at number one, they'll be making a big mistake.  I have to think that Joel Embiid would be awfully hard to pass up as the number one pick. 
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

Same was said about Greg oden.

yes Wiggins would be a top defender even as a rookie... but going against the other post Wiggins has a much higher ceiling than Embiid... Embiid is a year older andf we havent even seen what Wiggins will do on an offensive level..
