Those Milsap highlights. Pants are tight

Truly the most boring top 10 I've ever watched. I almost fell asleep. You could put together a better top 10 plays for Embiid using defensive moments.

Travesty embiid didn't make it over Millsap.

I fell for his shooting after his rookie season, lol. Never would have considered drafting him instead of Embiid, though, didn't like him as a prospect.

Thats crazytown.

I feel like as a fan base we have to expect some sort of regression to the mean at some point, because at this point all of Embiid goes to 11.

I had to rewind it so I could look at the clock and see if it was a game winner or something.

Isn't the biggest argument for Embiid the impact of how the team plays with him on the court vs. off the court?

According to this article, Millsap has just as big of an impact, even slightly bigger.

well, judging by that "highlight" reel, you could make an argument for tj mcconnell over millsap.
i am sure embiid had single games where he put together 10 more deserving highlight plays than what millsap did in this video.

That's pretty interesting. Based on that article, we should double MAX this summer for Paul Millsap and Kyle Lowry. We could do this if we let Noel, Henderson, Ilyasova, and Rodriguez walk.

We'd be totally unstoppable.

PG Lowry / Bayless / McConnell
SG Stauskas / Luwawu / Korkmaz
SF Simmons / Covington / 1st rounder
PF Millsap / Saric / 1st rounder
CE Embiid / Okafor / Holmes

Embiid is clearly good enough to be an allstar this year.

I think that the argument of him not playing enough minutes in comparison to someone like Milsap is fair.

This will be the last year for at least the next ten or so that a healthy Embiid isn't an allstar.

Any word on whether Embiid plays tonight? ESPN has him listed as out, but he took part in morning shoot around.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be playing, if he's allowed to do this...
