Who do you think is the better prospect. Who will look better next season?

Embiid is the better prospect. As a Philly writer put it last month, if Embiid is entirely healthy then the pressure on Simmons to be a superstar is lowered. Embiid is the center piece. He was expected to go #1 over Wiggins before injury concerns. It's crazy that he's grown another 2 inches since the draft.

Simmons will have the better season. Embiid isn't expected to play the 2nd of back-to-back games and I'd expect his mins to hover around 20 per game. I'd expect a 15/8/6 type season from Simmons. Embiid's numbers are unknown until the front court logjam is fixed.

Embiid better prospect.
Simmons will look better next season (no way Embiid with 2 years off comes out producing)

Simmons will be better next season because he's fresh.
But Embiid has a much higher ceiling. If he becomes the player I thought he'd become originally coming out of college he'll be a a top 10 player in 3-5 years tops.
