Embiid is looking good, but it's still too early for me to say if it's just due to his size and quickness. Good raw talent though.

Yes, he has a certain feel for the game of basketball that you wouldn't expect out of someone with his limited experience.

Imagine a trio of Wiggins, Seldon, Embiid going forward. I'd trade Val for Embiid.
The growth doesn't get much more organic than that!

Not good for most of it. Better at the end when it mattered in crunch time. Dealing with a cold supposedly.

I just want to give a shout out to Miss Kansas for showing up and supporting the Jayhawks. We're all very happy that you showed up to support the Jayhawks. Hopefully you will be around more often to support the Jayhawks.

Was 1/5 (3 pts 1 reb) in first half, missed a few spot up 3s, being looked off couple times on possible allyoop plays, just wasn't really playing all that well earlier on, the intensity wasn't there, other times he came off screens, received the ball then swung it back to the guard at the top, or threw entry pass to Embiid/Ellis down low.
Then second half he came to life in that mini stretch off of pocket 3, tip in, drove to the rim, and forgot how he scored the other 2 points, so basically double digit pts, then added 4 more points in final half minute from a mix of intentional fouls and layup.

Embiid for Jval would be very, very tempting.

Curious to see how Wiggins does today on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back-to-back while under the weather.
Tough early stretch for the kid.

Man Wiggins so upright when he drives. Exposed the ball both times.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth
