Similar to the first scenario I talked about, there was some brief talk of drafting Embiid. And, then there were two potential paths. Either they could go with a twin tower thing with Nerlens Noel, or trade Noel for another need. I’m not gonna lie, the injuries concern me. And, as a guy still feeling some kind of way with Andrew Bynum, I’d be okay with Noel playing his game. It’s hard to win a championship without your star.
