The Embiid thing seems to be trending in the right direction and that’s all we can realistically ask for. Last year around this time it was trending in a bad direction so I think this is definitely different and the signs seems to be suggesting the start of this year will be different from the last one at least.
KJ got cut by the worst team in basketball but he’s probably better than what the Sixers have for 48 minutes at PF.
Genuinely the weirdest thing about Embiid is that because the injuries have been so severe and/or bizarre, no one has talked about his evolution as he ages.
We’ve talked about him just being basically gone. Like a Bynum or an Oden.
Embiid has the game to potentially age quite gracefully being a mid range jumper guy and losing some of the weight.
I think it’s funny because next year the story and all the talk will be about FVV, Haliburton, and Tatum returning… but this year because of the Bells Palsey, facial fractures, knee, etc. it’s like Joel has been cast off and discarded already.
Embiid please stay healthy enough to execute a finger wag worthy block in the black throwbacks at least once.
