    Default Will Philadelphia's Twin Towers ever be healthy and if so, can they co-exist?

    You've got a raw skinny rim protector and a raw large bodied high-upside offensive center with good rebounding and also good defensive capabilities. Both of them are back-to-basket players offensively, though only one of them has a high upside and natural fluidity at it. So how do you see them co-existing (if at all)? Will Philly likely trade one? Or alternate their minutes? I'm honestly intrigued about their team now. Both were extremely highly projected picks in the draft - when they were healthy.

    One will be traded, unless they have passing abilities unnoticed, or Embiid can actually shoot.

    Aside from general rehab and building muscle, Noel and the staff spent a ton of time breaking down and rebuilding his shot form. Best case scenario is that He develops a face up game and spends time at the 4. Unfortunately there's always the chance that the choice of who we stick with is made for us in the form of an injury to the other. Well probably end up trading one for a defensive minded SG though

    Noel will never be a back to the basket player. I see him being used more like Tyson Chandler. Active screener and cutter.

    Keep both and hope you can get 82 games between them.

    All of those duos involved at least one guy who was a very good passing big, and a decent midrange shooter. Neither Noel, nor Embiid have shown that they have the skills to play off another big. Unless Embiid really is Hakeem 2.0, one of them will have to be traded.

    Elfrid Payton / Tony Wroten
    Jodie Meeks / James Anderson
    Nick Young / Hollis Thompson
    Nerlens Noel / Thaddeus Young
    Joel Embiid / Spencer Hawes / Henry Sims

    would have been a decent team.

    Ewing was a good mid range shooter though.
