He’ll get plenty of cheesesteaks though

This is a terrible take, Embiid is not overweight.

See, it's working already.

I don't understand why he doesn't play anymore. Everytime I've caught games where he's played he looks like he belongs and is a matchup problem. Sixers are actually one of the best places he could have landed. They could really use him. I hope he catches on and shows out. I wish the Kings would have nabbed him.

I bet everyone loves this guys game, but just looking at him its obvious he is not NBA player no matter how skilled.

Young skilled player but needs to work on his conditioning. I like the pick up for Philly but their trainers are going to need to get this kid on a serious program.

It's not 90 era,player with low post skill but is defensive liability can't play in nowadays NBA,see Jahlil Okafor

Don't forget about the addicting soft pretzels, they can pack on the finishing pounds for that fully rotund look.

No but he is not in proper shape, otherwise he wouldn't be gasping for air in Playoffs.

Agreed his conditioning needs to improve.

They both make other people starve because of depleting the food supply.

Problem with Kenny is his defense he is slow and undersizes which is a terrible combination.

_jin · Post #36 » by **_jin** » Sun Dec 24, 2023 5:02 pm

I'm surprised by the enthusiasm in this thread. Every time I've watched him he's been the biggest liability on defense. He's short, has short arms, can't jump, no verticality, he can't protect the rim, and he has no lateral quickness so he can't stay in front of anyone. The worst combination you can think of for a big on defense. Offensively his only move seems to be bumping into his opponent hoping to get him off his feet. I havent seen the skill or the talent that others have seen but maybe I've been unlucky on the sample of games I've watched of him. Those practices against Embiid are gonna be a nightmare for him.

I bet Embiid can't overpower him with strength, too much lower body strength which is not Embiid's forte. It would serve him good because he is dumb as hell when he goes against Horford, trying to post him up a lot of the time which will never work.

That's the MVP we're talking about here.

Seems like exactly the kind of player you take a flier on with a two way deal. He’s got talent but needs to commit to a real training program. Philly has some hard workers & good vets in that locker room who can coach/mentor him.

He’s better than Grant Williams who is also severely overrated overweight
