So how about Joel Embiid

[phifans]

I can get some of you dont like OK4 and bash him everyday in our own board but pls dont do this in GB. Its just a shame how some of you treated to your own players.

My favourite player already outside the Lakers, generational talent and seems to be a funny good dude. And he is a Real Madrid fan, greatness recognizes greatness.

For real guys its sad that you go that far to hold on to your crazy opinions. Listen to the sane member of your fanbase.

edit- the hilarity of "im a sixers fan" giving your opinion any more weight in the conversation is hilarious. Not directed at your @phifans but at the others in this thread.

[nikster]

I dont have to tell you, you just told me. Im pointing out the hilarity of you saying "basically just Jrue Holiday and no assets" when that clearly wasnt the case especially when you reach so hard to throw Noel and Saric in to the same group as the other actually talented guys on your roster.

It's more hilarious to claim that Noel and Saric aren't talented young NBA players.

You keep fighting for your initial one-sided argument about Hinkie and the Sixers and have still failed to present a single good counter argument. You just toss out these throwaway statements and try to pass them off as facts.

In the context of putting them in the same group as Embiid, Simmons, and Okafor ,which you obviously would know is the context I am referring to if you would ever read, they are clearly not at the same level. They are a lot closer to the type of talent the sixers had when Hinkie took over.

Please try reading before you respond to another one of my posts. Explaining very simple things to you is tiresome.

I knew there had to be a Lakers/Real fan somewhere around here. Greetings!

Injuries have been an issue for the Clippers in recent years, so I've gotten used to wishing for players being healthy above all else. Now I am extending these positive thoughts to Embiid, who I've been checking out more and more lately.
It really blew me away that he could be so consistent so soon after missing so much time. It can't be easy to be out there as a rookie and top player on your team, having to produce the numbers that many were expecting from a top pick, while also trying to block out any worries of getting hurt again. His mental toughness, above all else, is to be commended.

You know very well you are mentioning Saric and Noel as assets while saying that when Hinkie got the sixers they had no assets other than Jrue Holiday. This very obviously isnt true if you are willing to think so highly of players the level of Saric and Noel.

Just stop. You're a non-sixers fan trying to tell 76ers fans that watch games, that Okafor was better. He wasn't. The eyes prove that. The stats prove that.

You also can't speak for all the sixer fans. I actually thought Jahlil overall had a better season. Noel was disappointing IMO because he didn't improve. Okafor was a rookie and I was expecting some struggles.

It's pretty much unanimous on our board. Noel hasn't improved. I agree. But he was still a more productive player on the court than Okafor. Just because Okafor was a rookie, and struggles were expected, doesn't change what was happening on the court. We're not debating potential, we're debating what actually happened.

Not a unanimous opinion on the Sixers board.

[Madhouse]

PER of 25 and averaging 30/12 per 36 after not playing basketball for 2 years and never playing an NBA game before?

Sixers will be a damn force in 2 or 3 years.

This would be like explaining why Lebron James is better than Tobias Harris. It really isnt necessary and only a very obvious troll would try to argue against it.

Which proves that some 76ers' fans have no idea what they're watching either.

His game is incredibly physical. Guys like KAT are great with incredible finesse type scoring. Embiid is looking the whole package. It's reassuring to know your big can brute bully his way to the rim when no one is biting on those pumpfakes and spins. And his rim protection looks legit for a rookie

[Unbreakable99]

I expected Embiid to be dominant. This is how I envisioned he would play.

[Zombiesonics]

i'm utterly shocked how strong embiid is, he tossed whiteside around like a rag doll a few times in that video. I also like his body language, exudes leadership and high basketball iq, always yelling at his dumb teammates to cut. I wonder if he can get fully athletic again, like he sometimes crumbles and falls still. but imagine him with simmons son

[Hipster Doofus]

He's just a force of nature. I've had the pleasure, as many others across RealGM, to be a Philadelphia 76ers fan for a long, loooong time, and I personally haven't been this excited since the A.I. days. Embiid is truly incredible, what a specimen.

Stay healthy big man, and you'll be a special one in the history of the NBA.

[wadekim7]

This guy is just amazing. He's pretty much the whole package you'd want in your Center. Strength, agility, high IQ, etc. Most important feature that I see from him is his leadership skills. He just eludes it on and off the court. Very likeable guy to top it off. Hoping for a long, healthy career.

Noel is far more valuable than any of those other holdovers from the pre-Hinkie era. You can get something of value for him. All those other assests werent worth much more than a couple 2nd round picks.

You acting like it is sooooo obvious that Noel had a better season is more of a joke than me stating my own opinion. I absolutely do know what I am watching. You have to expect Okafor to struggle as a rookie on such a terrible team. Noel didn't show any progress. Simply stating that.

Which once again has nothing to do with the point being made that Noel was better than Okafor last year. Every advanced stat and eye test proves that. Hell you just said it yourself, Okafor struggled, because he was a rookie. So what point are you trying to make again?

I would keep Okafor over Noel for several reasons, but that's not the point of the original statement. And certainly not relevant to a thread discussing Joel Embiid. So back on topic I go.

Sixers have a stud in Embiid.
Knicks have a stud in Porzingis.
It should get very interesting for the Atlantic Division in coming years.

Um, I hate to butt in here, but you can't seriously be suggesting that Spencer Hawes is anywhere near as valuable an asset as Saric or Noel...
