Injury-prone? Not according to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Well that might not be the case entirely, as the 76ers would be fools not to consider what they are getting themselves in for, they don’t want another Greg Oden on their hands.
But after being one of the worst sides in the NBA last season Philly have rolled the dice and drafted another injured big man who they will not get a proper return on for at least a year.
After taking Nerlens Noel last year, Embiid provides the side with the second of its own “Twin Towers”.
Embiid is a sensational rim protector, very good rebounder and before his surgery for his broken bone in his foot, was very athletic for a player standing 7’0″ and weighing 250lbs.
