The Cavaliers were widely expected to select Joel Embiid with the number one
overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, until a foot injury and subsequent
surgery threw Embiid’s value into question.
It’s unclear just how far Embiid might fall — Cleveland, for example, is
reportedly eyeing Jabari Parker now with that top pick, and the Bucks at two
are going to have a hard time passing on Andrew Wiggins if that’s the case.
But the Sixers are intrigued by Embiid, and will take a long look at
selecting him if he’s still on the board when it’s time for them to pick at
the number three slot.
The most interesting thing about this move, should things unfold like this,
isn’t that Embiid’s stock would remain so high, even though he’d be
expected to miss most if not all of the upcoming season. It’s that the
Sixers would be fine pursuing the same strategy in consecutive seasons.
Last year saw the Sixers begin their rebuild in earnest by trading Jrue
Holiday for the rights to Nerlens Noel on draft night, who, just like Embiid,
was projected to go number one overall even after tearing his ACL during his
lone season in college. He ended up falling to six, and that’s when
Philadelphia pounced.
The Sixers chose to sit Noel for the entire season, even when he probably
could have played a chunk of it — he himself said recently he’s been 100
percent “for months.” The team would presumably need to do the same with
Embiid, but being only in year two of its stated three-five year rebuilding
plan, that might work out just fine.
因为Embiid开刀后状况的不确定，前两个顺位的骑士和公鹿已经将选秀目标转移到
Jabari Parker和Andrew Wiggins。如果Embiid没在前两个顺位被选走的话，76人
有兴趣用首轮第三签下他。
去年76人将Holiday交易出去，换来Noel的签约权，也开始了球队重建的计画。尽管Noel
自称状况已经到100%好几个月了，76人仍是决定让他坐满整个球季。如今若Embiid真的
被76人选走，他也将面临到与Noel相同的状况。但花费这两年的时间，对76人3-5年的
重建计画也许是有益处的。
心得：禁区开刀双塔。
