After two days the vote is split 23-23. Should we wait, or just make these both #2 and go on to #4? Some of you lurkers, vote!

We had a few more votes in the first poll, which actually took less time.

Maybe the guys who voted Exum can break it.

You are welcome. I refused to switch to Parker since I don't think he is the better option but I will back off Embiid for the sake of the poll moving on.

Embiid could be our starting C in the 2015-16 season if Big Al opts out and next year he could probably play along side him in some instances. We just really really need perimeter scoring and a go to guy down the stretch and even though size typically wins over everything, for us, perimeter scoring is the most glaring issue at hand for now and the forseeable future.

I don't see any fit issues with Embiid. He can step out and hit shots well enough to give Big Al space down low.
