He's there, for 3 points. Right next to Wilt.

I mean Zion is also a little better than Embiid was but yeah Ja is good and on a team making a surprise playoff run, unless he averages 30+ the rest of the way there isn't really anything Zion can do to make up the gap in games played

Also I feel like this entire all star draft tweet thing was inspired by Charles 'Allen Iverson' Barkley

It's some sort of All-Star game specific thing right? There's no other way to justify Vince at 3 points and KD at 1.

Sixers looked real good against the Clipps last night. Ben Simmons' spin moves are vicious, Leonard, George and Morris didn't have any answer for it. Embiid was setting good screens all game too to set it up. Clippers interior defense was just getting bullied and it showed in their rebounding.

North Carolina. The testicle analysis (voice to text) not going to run a statistical analysis but I'm guessing dollar values whipped up based on famous big number performances in past all Star games, not just talent as basketball players

If I get all the bottom row and the next one up that gives me the most players so I'm doing that. I've got a full bench, don't know about anyone else.

Zion is playing better than rookie Embiid yes and also a lot of years younger than rookie Embiid. 4 years ? Or 3

He's going to be a better offensive player for sure. I don't think he really has the same rim protection potential though.

Embiid was playing much better defense but also not actually a rookie but in his third year so that is sorta expected.

But yeah, unless Ja misses a bunch of games or hits the most brutal rookie wall ever he probably has it wrapped up.

I had they impression Vivek had a history of telling the team that "it's your choice who to pick but you should pick this guy". That's not too defend Vlade but if I read a rumour that Bagley was Vivek's guy I would believe it.

No so sure yet. If he’s happy being a sub, that is pretty good Embiid insurance for when he misses he annual 20 games . Also Horford can “guard” giannis for 10 minutes or so a game in the playoffs

Vlade was photographed in his office with his big board written on the whiteboard with Bagley #2 and MPJ in the top #5. I don't think Vivek even knew who MPJ was.

The impression of Vivek making draft calls came from Pete D'Alessandros time when he and Mullin were huge brown nosers and let Vivek and everyone into the draft room and never told him no. Vlade sucks at his job but he makes his bad decisions himself. It's why Peja is his right hand man

Well yeah but he's also not going to be a full time center. When he's fully healthy and up to speed he's going to be way more switchable.

I thought of that but I'd rather include a few faves like Duncan and Wilt, and be able to give all 8 an average of 30 minutes.

Yes, I am overthinking a nonsense question on social media, and yes, I am procrastinating on a task due tomorrow.

Yeah, so Embiid isn't really a good comparison . Also, Embiid is a great player but Zion has "in the conversation for greatest ever" potential.
