Joel Freaking Embiid
-
41 points, 13 rebounds tonight, four blocks too. The man is becoming a machine. I know I ripped him the other day, but wow, just wow! Averaging 27 a game and 12 boards. By the way his triple double machine teammate Ben Simmons had one the other day with points, boards and turnovers!

@wissox Kawhi made Simmons look like really bad ball player. We all knew Ben canât shoot, Kawhi wouldnât even let him dribble. Wow, I forgot how good Kawhi is. Amazing

When healthy, one of the best five players on the planet.

@dylans Interesting. That doesnât diminish Simmons skills either. Simmons is an amazing player who will probably become the next person to average a triple double in a season.
-
@wissox In all fairness LeBron did let a MFer fly when he saw Kwahi checking back into a playoff game. Thatâs one heck of a defender.

Good stuff here on KU players in the NBA; you might need to sign in to TwitterâŠ
-
@JayHawkFanToo I still havenât made a twitter yet
-
I had to open an account for one of my business that requires social media but I donât believe I have ever posted there; I just get a daily summary of tweets from groups I indicated on my profile I like, mostly KU stuff.

Sixes just traded for Jimmy Butler
-
Not sure if I like this trade for Philly.
-
Heâs a cancer

Ya me neither - -not feeling good about this- -a Cancer

@BShark no

I wonder how he will fit with Embiid and Simmons. Covington and Saric are solid starters, Bayless has not played this season, has a high $ contract and will likely be waived. Patton has not played either and might also be a potential waive. Sixers traded its starting PF and SF for a SG; maybe they will play 4 out 1 in.

But I was told he is a cancer. Definitely didnât hard carry KU to a FF last year.
-
@BShark LMAOâŠ

One manâs ceiling is another manâs floor or perhaps more applicable in this situationâŠone teamâs cancer is another teamâs treasure. Remember, Tarik Black was considered a cancer at Memphis and yet he was great at KU. Butler is an alpha dog and going to a team with 2 other alpha dogs in Embiid and Simmons and maybe a third one in Redick; it will interesting how the chemistry works out.
-
I donât think itâs a bad trade for Philly, Butler is still a good player when heâs motivated. And I think heâll fit in okay personality-wise with the Sixers.
My issue with this is if Iâm Philly Iâd rather trade Fultz than Saric. But from a Minnesota standpoint Iâm happy to get Saric. Covington is also a good player, especially defensively. And he can shoots 3âs. Great trade for Minny.
-
If Butler clashes with anyone I think it will be Simmons for not working on his jump shot. Embiid works his tail off.
-
-
No 3 point shots in Wiltâs era and I am not sure they kept block stats either but I would like to see how his stats compare to Embiid.
-
They didnât keep block stats. Suffice it to say Wilt had plenty. So did Russell.
-
A ton of people have said Wilt would most likely be the NBAs all time leader in blocks had it been kept as a stat in his time. Sportscasters claim several games he had at least 20. Joel is special, go back to some of my posts from 2015 talking about how Iâve only seen 2 or 3 7 footers move like that.
-
@kjayhawks Yeah, Joel is amazing. I went to the first game that year with the intentions of being blown away by Wiggins. Instead I couldnât take my eyes off of Embiid. He is truly a transcendent talent if some guy like me can see it from day one!
