    Thanks. Wow yeah with the shoulders seems at least 2 inches taller, but though hard to tell with their hair, looks like only an inch or so with their heads. Jahlil looks like he has a longer neck? Joel can't play so he must just keep hitting the weights.

    Okafor will get his. He's a solid player but I dont see all-star in him at all.

    Too early to say. I see the potential. He's already commanding doubles.

    It's been 2 games. I still think he's trying to figure out the NBA landscape. That said, if I were Jahlil, I'd focus on facing up and desiring to be put more of a factor in pick in roll. Those are two areas where he has a distinct advantage and poses problems for the defense right now.

    Also to his defense, the floor spacing and passing of their summer league guards in these two games...yikes!

    Holy crap... Embiid :eek::eek::eek:

    I saw him play here in Austin a little over a year and a half ago and he looks nothing like he did back then. Hope he can stay healthy and be a dominant force in the league.

    After the 70centers trade him for a guard or something. Not for them. But yeah good luck.

    A guard? You know they don't trade for players. Only assets so they can keep shoveling the "we have a plan" pile of s*** down the fans throats year after year, lottery after lottery.

    Mudiay is a lot like Okafor: NBA ready today. That's why I had those two so highly rated on my draft board.

    Second team All Star at Center is not a hard accomplishment these days. Hibbert is a 2 time All Star and Maglorie was as well. In the East he could start by default with the injury histories of the Centers in the east. Not saying he's deserving more about the state of the Center position.
