If Embiid's not healthy again this season, do you let him go and go after FA Cousins?
It seems like the last few seasons would have taught us by now, that you can't win with a Center or PF that doesn't play defense.

Yeah not sure my fears have gone away based on that 1 post. Still haven't seen him bounce a basketball in a gym in over 2 months now.

Its hard to imagine how good Embiid can be on defense when you consider he's still learning the game. As skilled as he is on offense, his ability to erase mistakes by the perimeter players is probably his most important ability.

Biid is the uncrowned DPOY, I know it sounds like such hype but he is like COMBINING Draymond and Gobert, his defense is unbelievable and people don't even realize it. Put in perspective what an unreal defender you need to be to catapult your entire team from being one of the worst to the absolute BEST, not one of, the best defensive rating which includes being rated above GS, SA and Utah and we know who their best defenders are...results speak for themselves.
