VaTerp 192 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Seems crazy based on 31 games but good for him I guess. Apparently there is some kind of injury protection written into the deal for Philly. http://hoopshype.com/2017/10/09/joel-embiid-might-have-the-most-complicated-extension-in-nba-history/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

summersoff7 1,076 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 is he going to stay healthy for a relatively good part of the season justifying his 3rd round x-rank right now? Id rather someone else take a chance on him, I like dependable guys in the 1st 3 rounds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Febonacci 26 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This guy is going to be a beast in my league that counts FGM and FTM. Got him with the 40th pick in my 10 team league, and thats looking like a steal right now. if this guy puts up 60-70 games he becomes the #1 fantasy player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GJDHouse 1,028 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'll take the best big man in the NBA (that's right) in the third round even if he misses 20 games. Embiid is completely unguardable. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turner46 844 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) I grabbed him rnd 3 pick 3 in a 14 team h2h so pick 31. I got a auction tonight that had no intentions of owning him but I am now re thinking that. Seeing how it's a auction tonight and sorry if it's a little AC like but who would be some good players to pair with him if I do take the plunge.

mdpharm23 183 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 He was picked #20 overall in my yahoo pro league yesterday, I think he might end up top 15 from now til season opener 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trench Mob 1,660 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 His rebounding ability is still weak tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_MAGIC_MAN 726 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I do not own Embiid but noticed the coach keeps taking him out every 3-4 minutes? His hips look stiff af too, I highly doubt he plays 70games. I'll peg him at 40 games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donnie99 195 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 After not playing from January to this point, do you expect him to play 30 minutes on the get go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrb724 16 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) We know what this guy can produce if he is on the court. I hope he can put his past injuries behind him but realistically if we were to make an over/under Vegas line on: 1) Total Games played this season? 2) Minutes per game? History and Projections Games: He played 31 last year and projected at 62 games Minutes: He played 25 minutes/game last year and projected at 29 minutes. My take I think he will start off at 20-25 minutes and go from there. 62 games seems to assume only missing games due to rest, back to backs, etc. Edited October 12, 2017 by jrb724 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_MAGIC_MAN 726 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) If he plays 41 games and produces 40pts 20rebounds 5a 2stls 4blks 2triples averages would that be better? Edited October 12, 2017 by THE_MAGIC_MAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chud12 4,076 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I just can’t draft this guy in H2H leagues. Between the rest days and minutes limit and various injuries that he prob will have he is going to hurt you more than help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm likely only in 2 leagues this year and now 100% invested, I guess I got to trust the process... or find a 3rd league and stay away from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Auction has to be the most infuriating setting ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
