I like Embiid's activity level. Always doing something.

Embiid is going to be a major player by the end of this season. Has all the tools to be a great NBA C.

True, just like Barnes when Zeller and Henson clotting the paint. Wiggins can attack all day in spacious paint if he wants to.

Is there any other sport where you could pick a kid just based on his body/athleticism/coordination and teach him a sport in 3 years and have him be good enough to become a multi-millionaire at the game?

Seriously. What a sport.

He has 25 points in the first 18 minutes of the game, leading the the #7 Cowboys to a 16 point first half lead against #11 Memphis.
Smart may be the college player of the year this season. Lower ceiling prospect compared to the others, but should be a solid NBA player.
His stat line is sort if similar to Randy Foye coming out of Nova - low shooting % (around 40%), but very strongrebounder, solid passer, very good defender. He may be a little more explosive than Foye. I am always concerned when a prospect only shoots 40% however. You just hope a player could generate more efficient looks.
Definitely has to raise his shooting percentage this season to be seen as a more legitimate prospect, I would agree.

Have to be motivated to do this. He wasn't in the first half.

I freaking love Wiggins' poise. So few mistakes, great grasp on when to pass and shoot.

What the hell does Wiggins drink at half time and how do you get it to him at the start of games?

Frederick or anybody watching any of the Kentucky game.
Only seen the boxscore but James Young has exploded for 26 points on 13 shots. I wonder if he will become the clear #2 option for UK as the season progresses.
