     These 2 finally square off for the first time tonight. Hopefully, it will be the first of many.

    Remember when we were excited for the KAT vs. Okafor matchup last year? Crazy how much that narrative has changed

       Okafor may not be in the same tier of potential as KAT and Embiid, but he can still have a Jermaine O’Neal/Al Jefferson type of career. A few seasons of 20-24 points, 8-10 boards as a number one option; then later on in his career he can be a big off the bench for a contender that can get you buckets in the half court when the game slows down.

        No idea why you got negged, but I agree. You could do much worse at the center position than Jah Okafor.

        Any chance he gets traded to another team? Very few teams with the talented guards necessary or the need to trade for Okafor. Maybe the Suns with a deal around Knight or Booker?

     Turned out a bit one-sided.  Minny was smart to keep Dieng and Aldrich on embiid to avoid any fouls and were quick to double.  Against Philly its a great strategy as he has to pass out to, say Covington, who is atrocious.  Can’t wait for Simmons to slide to the 3 spot and start to get some creativity and penetration.

      Yeah, RoCo was bad last night. 0-7 from three. It’s like him and Sauce Castillo switched talent for the past few games.

     KAT had his way mainly because of the rest of the team. Wiggins dropped 35 and Lavine was flying around. Embiid is out there on an island. Once he gets some shooters and other pieces, he’ll look even better.

     Does anyone remember like 4 months ago when everyone on this forum was saying "…well, I think Embiid can still be a solid Ilgauskas type player…" It was actually a somewhat popular opinion.

    Hilarious now that we think about it.

       I call BS on this post. Find me the thread where everyone thought he would be an Ilgauskas type player.
