He is listed at 7'2 which is what Embiid supposedly is, although he is frustratingly still listed at 7'0, and none of our media members seem willing to ask the team what the true numbers are.

We should get some clarity tomorrow.

He was supposedly 7'1'' in shoes during the draft. I think it's safe to say he's between 6'11-7' barefoot and around 7'1' in shoes. I think Gobert will look slightly taller than Embiid.

He grew since then though. He was 7'2 sandals lest summer.

I know that people say he is 7'2. I want to know what he actually IS though.

If anyone has an old post bookmarked of how Embiid was going to light the world on fire in his first 5 games back after missing over 2 years, now would be a clever time to bump it.

I never considered how I thought he would do in his first 5 games, but he hasn't surprised me a single bit with how good he is. I knew he was a franchise player when we drafted him.

Ben Simmons is one too.

The only part that has surprised me to this point is how quickly they have cleared him to play so many minutes. I would not have expected him to be playing 24 minutes this quickly.

Second in the league in blocks per game already, in just 22 min/game.

When was the last time the sixers had a player with a 20+ per who played significant minutes?

Iggy?

Embiid apparently not traveling to play Wednesday. Ugh... don't really understand that decision.

Neither do I... It's not a back to back, and there is a back to back coming up right after that... Maybe they made a mistake, and they meant another day... WTH...

I just had a thought though, maybe they are planning on playing Embiid on the back to back that's coming up later this week. So they're giving him rest now, to ensure it's a smooth transition.

I love the trajectory of Hakeem's shot.
