Mannix said he has been told both Orlando and Utah will pass on him, so I am keeping my fingers crossed this happens .

I'll hate if I have to watch him sit on the bench in a suit with injuries the next few years but it's a chance you have to take.  If we didn't have the TPE or the ability to add another good center under the cap, I might think differently.

Ainge MUST get a starting center this off season.  Everything else is optional.

Yao Ming ring a bell to anyone.  Same injury and nothing to show for it.  Pass on Embiid.

Same injury that Ilgauskas and Jordan had and recovered from, as well.

You win NBA titles with stars - Embiid has a chance to be a franchise C - If DA is comfortable with the medicals, then it's a not even a question.  The C's will probably never have access to this type of talent in the draft again....

Ming also had the injury deep into a career and after having a very productive career.

Agreed, there is a solid chance that Embiid will recover from his injuries.

I believe Yao tried to play through it? Embiid got this taken care of right away.  Draft him and stash him on the bench and the trainers room for a year and see you next season...

Not to mention Yao played basketball all year round. The NBA season/playoffs and then for China. I think this factored into his nagging foot injuries, no?

If we could be assured of Yao Ming's career at pick #6, I'd do it in a second.
