Embiid has so much potential but the history of big men with longlasting injuries is something i want NO parts of... And in all honesty i truly believe L.A is getting a top 3 pick and be prepared for all the conspiracy claims.

as a 7'0 big man with back and knee injuries myself, i would think embiid is a risk but can be well worth it depending after his medical tests

Via Chad Ford:
Edit:
It would have been nice for Vonleh to measure out a little taller, but his measurements work well for a PF. Maybe he can pass for a C thanks to his monsterous wingspan.
Gordon should be close to 6'9 in shoes and his wingspan + athleticism should help him. A definite PF all the way.
Smart, is a speciman. Damn. His physical presence would be welcomed.

I've always found it so dumb that they need to have players measured w/o shoes... who's balling in nike elite socks 
I'm interested in how Vonleh compares in the combine he brings about every skill and physical characteristic of Randle except that he's longer and has a better touch from outside

How's his defense?
Not as run around the court athletic as Gordon, but closer to the rim, light in the pocket (for now) enough down low.
Again, he needs to reach Bosh level, and he's just fine. I don't know if he'll move as quick as Bosh, or has the instincts, but if we surround him with other smart defenders, he should be fine. If he wants to be. If he doesn't care about defense (no way for me to know that yet) nothing can help the kid, just like anyone else.

Sounds interesting.
I kinda hope the Heat lose in the finals so they can make tough decisions.... Like letting Bosh leave...
