Would you trade the #1 pick for Joel Embiid?

Assuming your world class doctor says there is a 70% chance he has a full and relatively healthy career.

Yes.

[navy]

No.

[IGOTGAME]

I think it would be a good move. The more I watch Okafor, the more I realize he isnt the same level of prospect as Embiid.

[AirTupac]

Ill take a 100% Okafor then please

[christian1923]

I'll take my chances with Jahlil Okafor.

He's a beast

[fpliii]

Yep.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, probably.

Really?

The kid dominates every game he plays in.

he's better offensively but he'll never have the defensive potential embiid does

[GOBB]

No we already have Embiid

I think Embiid is better offensively too. Just different when playing against little kids, it would show up more in the NBA. Embiid was in a strange situation in Kansas playing with another future HOFer. They both werent gonna score 20+a game.

I'm just not as impressed with Okafor (not really a knock on Okafor bc I was really high on Embiid). I think Cousins was a similar prospect at this time. Don't get me wrong, Okafor is my #1 pick though and I think he is going to be a perennial all star like Cousins.

[T_L_P]

The injury is still worrisome.

Both healthy, yes. Okafor isn't gonna be a superstar, I'm afraid.

[Smook A.]

Embiid's got potential to be a dominant center IF he stays healthy for his career. Would I trade the #1 pick for him? Maybe. It'd be a gamble but I'd do it.

[Jailblazers7]

No we already have Embiid

To put it another way...would you be pissed if Hinkie traded Embiid for the #1 pick to select Okafor?
