Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 I was trying to quote the post with the doctors comment about fixing the injury and how this can't be compared to Yao. While I'm sure that medical procedures have advanced since then the fact remains that this is a young kid who has had 3 major injuries in what? 5 years of playing high level ball? He hasn't even had to play an 82 game season yet, and that is not even considering the fact that the latest injury came during workouts, not even in a game. What good is fixing it going to do if it reoccures? There is something going on with the kids body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magicman28 295 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Just think about this...Embiid has had two stress fractures in 2 totally different places in 3-4 months. BTW, Embiid's foot will heal but the positioning of the bone is on the medial side which is the same side of the toe, which is where one puts a lot of stress and weight on. Embiid's game stems from his athleticism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrlandoFeds 34 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 My opinion on Embiid changes every minute. I don't know what to think anymore but I'm a little disappointed our worst case has gone from exum/parker to now a vonleh/injured embiid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtremenole 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 I'd love to Rob to take the New England Patriots/San Francisco 49rs (I hate both teams) blue print for building a team. You assemble as many draft picks as possible knowing that you won't hit on every one, but the more picks you have the greater room you have for error. Now you obviously need to have a solid scouting department, but I really like the notion of loading up on as many picks as possible, and trusting in Rob and our scouting department (which seems to be doing a solid job at this stage) Trade Affalo and... add pick #9 Or and pick up 16, 19, and 49 Scenario #1 We have picks 4,9,12 Embid, Stauskas/McDermott, and Payton Scenario #2 We have picks 4, 12, 16, 19, and 49 Embid, Payton/Stauskas, Then any combination of Payne, Hood, PJ Hariston, Napier and Patrick Young with 49 I'd even love to see us buy another 2nd round pick.

jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Michael Jordan had a navicular fracture in his 2nd year. Reason Yao Ming and other guys that had it and did not bounce back from the injury was because either the medical tech/level/skills at the time was not good or most of those guys were just slow and were not athletic enough to recover. Sorry for rambling but embiid is going to be fine and only had two screws, he did not have the spider crack that Yao had... You guys knee jerk too much, if he had a knee surgery or an ankle one I would be the first to say no, not everyone is oden, and this should be case by case. And yes he's had two fracture during a crucial time but he shouldn't be labled as an injury prone, it's just bad timing. If he was a plastic man then he should have been injured every year, some of you guys really knee jerk too much and like to jump on bandwagons of those twitter experts.

jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Tier one, no particular order Embiid Parker Exum Wiggins Tier two Gordon Smart Randle Vonleh Tier three Saric Stauski Doug Harris Tier four Shabazz Eniess Young Payton Zach Levine will be a bust like Austin rivers Payton reminds me of nick young who shows flashes but nothing winning about them.

KandiKane 136 Report post Posted June 22, 2014 My opinion on Embiid changes every minute. Same here for me. Looks like Saric may have a guarantee from the Nuggets, refused workouts for any team below them in the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
