Picked up on a 2-way. Nice low risk scoop by Philly.

Dude has talent, but needs to really get some self discipline in terms of his conditioning.

This is a nice pick up by Philly. No risk, but if he gets things sorted out he can turn into a rotational piece for them down the road.

It makes sense. Philly needs a guy who makes Embiid less conscious of his weight.

Embiid needs help with his conditioning, Kenny will surely help him a lot in this regard...

Hes fun offensively against end of the bench guys but he is absolutely unplayable on defense. Awful size, length, agility, etc

Talented kid who certainly has the potential to make it in the NBA. Came into camp out of shape though and is rough on defense. He's a guy that needed a wake up call so I could see him developing into a good player for Philly that he'd have never been if Memphis kept him.

This is a terrible take, Embiid is not overweight.

Good thing he landed in the home of the cheesesteak sandwich.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

For a second I thought he was the son of baseball player and former Arizona Wildcat pg Kenny Lofton AKA the mayor of Cleveland. Turns out he isn't.

Hopefully he gets his act together because he's in a really good spot in Philly.

Awful signing for him... He's not going to get the opportunity to play or adequate training and development from Philly.
