    He's got some solid post moves guys.



    I think he'll go top 5.

      For some reason I was really impressed by the catch at the high post ~45 secs. Not really the catch but the confident hard dribble with the left hand.

        That's really what I was saying watching that video. Even if he's not Hakeem. I think he could be a KG type of player. He just makes alot of plays.

          If you guys can find it on YouTube check out the Fort Hays @ Kansas game.. A few minutes into the game, probably the 8-12 minute mark he posts with his hand high catches and shoots a left handed hook, then next trip down does the same with his right..

          That's why he's getting compared to Hakeem. His post stance is the same. He's catches and makes his move. No dribbling, no holding the ball. He gets and goes.. Nice touch.

          I watched the video earlier, because I've only watched a couple Kansas games. Was trying to find some more of him besides highlights and high school footage.

          Edit: start watching around the 15:10 minute mark.. His first play he moves well inside and gets tripled and tied up.. The two hooks come the next two plays up the court.

            Right now, my draft board would be:
            1. Randle
            2. Wiggins
            3. Parker
            4. Smart
            5. Embiid
            6. Exum

            I think come draft night this is the top 6 guys that will be drafted in whatever order. Aaron Gordon will probably be right there as well, but I'm not as high on him as most. We have a whole season left as well and a lot of things could happen to shake up the order.

              In my opinion, I still see it as Parker,Wiggins, Randle, Smart, Embiid. Especially when March comes in.

                    I really wish Embiid would stay another year or two. I feel like some team will take him in the top 5 and try to force him to develop too quickly and it take him forever to become anything in the league if he ever does.. I love his game but he needs time to learn.

                    I still think whoever takes Randle needs to already have a couple guys to be the primary guys ahead of him. I don't think you take him if you plan on immediately building your team around him. It'll take him a few years in my opinion. But he's definitely worth a top 5 pick.

                      Randle is a double double machine. I think he will end up averaging something like 15-10 his rookie year. He needs to work on boxing out more, but he is very strong and is a beast inside. He won't be getting triple teamed in the NBA either which will help him. Needs to cut down on turnovers as well.

                        probably the smartest thing bill simmons ever said that i can remember is that post game is developed in college not the pros...i really do fear embiid won't ever develop a legit post game if he comes out , but im not sure he will want to pass up that top 10 pick

                          Embiid will no doubt go top 7 but id say he and wiggins are the ones id stay away from if possible

                            Hey LeBron learn his post game in the league. A lot of players do. Embiid looked great on some moves. Even his left handed hook looked *** **** good.

                              lebron is also the best player in the league, one of the greatest ever, and physically dominates anyone he goes against.
