Is Joel Embiid still recognized as a top 5 player right now?


I'd be voting on him as a healthy player in this game personally.

I’m glad this one got enough people without me.

I rarely enjoy these single season drafts- just not enough strategic possibilities or different directions to go in and building a bench/supporting cast without the pick of many cheap effective seasons is a chore.

Thats just me though.

This. There are all kinds of seasons used in other drafts where guys played like 55-60 and I don't recall them getting dinged, provided their play when on the floor wasn't impacted.

Probably should have gone Embiid or SGA but man, it’s KD.
I’m trying to win a 7 game series, and he’s the best guy for the job IMO.

I had embiid as a guy I thought might be here when I drafted, felt weird not drafting him, but I also felt like I have drafted him so many times already, and I think I only drafted SGA once before.

So an SGA team it is.

Getting Curry and Lebron at the turn is a great get,.

MVP level offensive talent in the 2nd round seems very fair.

Expensive but great

I was wondering when Wemby would get drafted.
