Embiid>>>>KP

Personality and his game.

Let Embiid be healthy for a full season & good lord it’s gonna be something to watch.

no, especially considering that embiid is a year and a half older than KP

I'm also not sure why nobody is paying attention to Ingram on the Lakers. All the attention seems to be going to Ball and Kuzma.

Meanwhile Ingram is outplaying both while being the same age as Lonzo (and younger than Kuzma)

Ingram is going to be nasty in the future. He's like KP in that he's a late bloomer and he's frozen out of his offense at times, for whatever reason, and people are sleeping on him hard.

I didn't realize that about Joel being a year and a half older than KP. That is a BIG difference. He is a great player, but the injury history is a huge worry, though I wish him well - The NBA needs a few more stars.

In 1.5 years, what will KP be? Better than Joel now? I'd say yes. That said, like Joel has injuries, KP has that anema thing going on. I already wonder if it is affecting him, regarding the drop off.

Embiid started playing organized ball in 2011

I'm glad KP isn't an attention seeker or feels the need to bring other players down on his rise up. Motivated by his own expectations of excellence, not extracurricular nonsense.

^ Red Vines. Im sorry you being way to hard on Embiid. The cat is a good dude and is not malicious at all. He is a Jokester. He actually not extra curricular at all or an attention seeker. You basically faulting him for having a larger than Life Personality and being confident.

Embiid might be the most talented player of thus generation. If not for the injuries, he'd be the starting point to any team I'd build.

Control the homerism man, Embiid is another animal.

When does Roy Hibbert make an appearance to take his lunch again?

It’s almost like having a little flash and personality is synonymous with being garbage... Joel “TTP” Embiid is the truth and so is KP. Right now Joel is better and may be when it’s all said and done. But if KP keeps it up he’ll be fine. I think both players can be great in their own way like KG and Dirk were.

Hibbert is still in the league? I just know he’s underrated in 2k if you know how to use him and easy to get.

I wonder what kind of stats KP would put up having Lebron-lite(Ben SImmons) as his point guard instead of a 40 year old Jarrett Jack.

Exactly people dont take this into consideration as much as they should.

That makes a huge difference.

1 guy plays with an upcoming superstar pg, while the other plays with a 40 year old pg that should be out of the league.

That makes a big difference.

Why the heck did TNT schedule Rockets vs. Suns tonight? Did they think Suns would be interesting or something? What a horrible late game...
