Disclaimer: I will still include Embiid even if he plays for USA. At the same time, I want to include Sabonis too since he plays for Lithuania (and his father is a former Lithuanian Player).
USUAL LIST
1.Joker
2.Giannis
3.Luka
4.SGA
5.Embiid
Now, is Wemby 6th? And the one who is knocking on the door?
Or Players like Pascal, Sabonis, Lauri, Gobert, Porzingis, etc should be considered too?
Do you think Wemby can replace any of the top 5 in 2-3 yrs time? Or he will need 5 yrs to tke over?
I’m not going to say he’s better than Embiid, but he definitely looked like a solid no. 6 or 7 coming into the 2nd half of the season. Keep in mind that the kid was still playing on minutes restriction and on an otherwise absolutely awful team.
Pair him up with a good PG, and he’ll take a couple steps up offensively.
My guy, i dont even like embiid and i know its a crazy take to compare wemby to embiid.
