Embiid workout video from Friday LAL workout

[colincb]

Is he working out FOR LAL or working out in LA. LAL of darn near every team has the LEAST chance of acquiring him. All they have of value is the 7th pick and a better pick isn't enough, there is NO WAY he will fall to 7th, I don't care what the report on his back says it's not dropping him past us at worse.

In Santa Monica which is west of LA on the coast.  There was a wokout for him, Parker, and Smart and a bunch of lesser lights by the Wasserman Media Group (Arn Tellem, super agent).  All three looked good, but Embiid was the headliner because he's viewed as the only potential franchise guy and supposedly a lot of GMs were p---ed he didn't show at the Combine. Rumor at the Combine was that Tellem was trying to steer Embiid away from Bucks.  Not sure how Tellem feels toward the Cavs who have been worse, but Embiid's not lasting to us in any case. Simmons said he saw Embiid last week in Santa Monica and he looked good and fluid then too.

The Clippers also held an open workout for a lot of second tier guys late in the week.  A lot of guys looked good according to Ford who could be there at 17. There was a workout in NY also for Vonleh, Ennis, and others and Vonleh and Ennis looked good supposedly.  Vonleh's even freakier doing drills with his huge hands, but unlike some others (Rondo) can really shoot too. Can see why he's a great rebounder with his wingspan and huge hands. Ford moved him up to #5 on his board early this week.

i honestly hate agents like Tellem.  Any young player good prospect or not should be grateful to be drafted by any legit nba team.

What's next? unless you can be drafted by the heat or okc to have a chance at a championship in your first year, you will pull out of the draft?

Athletically, he reminds me of this guy:

Just so long, fluid...Embiid is........if he gets a Dream Shake, I'm through, lol

I'm just happy that the NBA is getting an infusion of talent like Embiid.

This will be a good draft for many teams, BOS included.

[BigAlTheFuture]

So jealous.

[lon3lytoaster]

If the cavs pass on this guy and cry about LeBron leaving ever again they should be immediately folded. I hate them so much.

Where's the part where he misses the 3 pointer?
How about the video where Demarcus Cousin flattens his rookie butt when he tries to put it on the floor in the paint?
Can't we see him trying a lay up against Pau?

I hate highlight reels of draft picks dunking! Show him getting beat up and fighting through it.

Ok, I'm bitter....I'm very bitter.

TY and TP.

I secretly wish he would punch a child right before draft day, maybe he falls to 6th then LOL.

He did one in the workout video and has done them in season.  It will be part of his arsenal.

The comparison is really apt as far as his potential.

If his body will hold up, just imagine his ceiling in 5 years. Because he?ll spend every offseason with The Dream himself.

I don't get the Hakeem comparisons.  If Embiid was white or black but not from Africa, would the comparison still be made?  Hakeem was a great athlete regardless of size.  He had as much fluidity and gracefulness as any small guy.  Embiid is a good athlete for his size and two-way players with his skill don't come around often.  But he's a little tight in the hips and he doesn't possess the supreme center of balance that Hakeem did.  He's gangly and looks awkward at times.  Embiid definitely has franchise player potential and considering the rarity that is at the center position, puts him above Wiggins and Parker but Hakeem was on another stratosphere. 

I think Olowokandi and Embiid were similar athletes with similar size.  Embiid could be whoever Olowokandi was supposed to be.

I couldn?t care less if the dude was orange and he was from the Planet ZYX. If you can?t see the similarities in his movement with Hakeem, then you are blind

Yeah, funny how big hands are supposed to keep Rondo from being able to shoot--and they're supposed to make Vonleh able to shoot.

Embiid is part of the master plan to get LeBron back to Cleveland..
