Actually it's more of a losing-whatever-it-costs culture, considering he plays for the Sixers.

I agree with most of the Philly fans in this thread. The weight thing, if true, can be fixed. Not so worried about that.

If in fact he is blowing off conditioning drills and getting sent home because of disputes with coaches, that's the real concern. Hopefully it's just being a bit messed up with personal stuff and he gets it together soon.

I gotta agree with the poster that said he's gonna put up 20/12/2 next year.

20pc McNuggets with 12 mcdoubles and 2 diet cokes. It can be done.

Noel trying to put on weight.
Embiid trying to lose weight.

Maybe they got there programs mixed up.

Now watch Saric never come over lol.

He looks heavier in that picture with Noel, not 50 lbs though and nothing that cant be fixed other than if he has an attitude problem with the staff.

Isn't Kyle Lowry 50lbs overweight? He's still effective and plays well

The Celtics will gladly take this risk. How does 10 of our 2nd Rounders and Shavlik Randolph sound?!!!

This probably works out better because now they have an excuse not to try to play him a few games this year.

Somewhat concerning. The weight gain can obviously be addressed if he is willing and committed to his rehab and fitness programs, but if he's displaying attitude problems and pushing back on those the Sixers need to address it. He's young, and there are definitely mitigating circumstances given the loss of his brother recently and his being alone a long way from his family, but Philly will want to nip this in the bud asap.

19 year old kid restricted to walking to work up a sweat? Lol, worry if it's still an issue come playing time. ****, he was also away from the team for an extended period of time when his brother died, probably didn't eat the best during that time or upon immediate arrival.

I have a feeling he's going to be a bust. You never draft big men with huge injury concerns in college. He got drafted, got injured again and now this weight issue?
I told people he would bust last year but was blasted on the GB. Looks like my prediction so far.
