Embiid 44pts / 14 rebounds / 7 assists
Danny Ainge said in a radio interview that the team would, in fact, have taken Embiid had he been on the board when their pick came up.
“Yes, we would have,” Ainge said on The Sports Hub’s “Toucher & Rich,” via MassLive. “He was not red-flagged, meaning ‘Stay away at all costs.’ He was rated a little bit less than (he would have been) with (his injury) risk, but he was a guy that we were looking at, had he fallen.”
