Draft Profile: Joel Embiid

Post by **ashes** » April 21st, 2024, 1:50 pm

Joel Embiid

Strengths: Very good scorer. Finishes well in the paint, good post moves, very good jump shot, and good range beyond the arc. Good vision. Solid steals and blocks. Good positional defense. Good rebounder. Excellent strength.

Weaknesses: Not very quick. Will turn the ball over.

Scout's Take: Embiid is the real deal. Game changer on so many levels. Will be the cornerstone of any franchise he goes to. However, there are serious injury concerns. Early word is he requires surgery and will miss extended time, but scouts are adamant he will still be a major force for years to come.

Ratings: Joel Embiid C 7'0'' 280 20 B- B C+ B- B- A

Stipulations: Embiid will miss his entire rookie season and there is a strong chance he misses his sophomore season as well. Could maybe extend beyond that.

Orlando is big on processes. If you saw our press release from the intense 10-11 meeting, we have a young analyst, now Assistant GM, named Samuel Hinkie who is believed to be behind this iteration of the Magic

And that's being generous... If you include the first two seasons he missed it's more like 43.
