Real question now

Zach LaVine or Andrew Wiggins?

In terms of now, and potential?

Im just curious as to what makes Andrew a better prospect, like is the gap that big between them or can Zach surpass him?

He can be but he wont. Zach is a volume shooter that can pass the ball here and there and dunk with the best of them.

Wiggins' ceiling is much higher. His defense is what separates them really.

andrew is a FAR superior defender , better shooter already .......wiggins will be tmac (without the back injury) and better defense  , potentially 25+ ppg / mvp caliber numbers, zach lavine will be vince carter , maybe 1-2 seasons where he reaches 25 ppg if he reaches full potential but i see him getting to 17-20 ppg max but he might be better....

There's a chance this injury could hinder Embiid's career the way it has for other 7-footers. Like Embiid, Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture in the navicular bone in 2008 and again in 2009. That injury forced Yao to retire in 2011.

A stress fracture in Embiid's lower back kept him out of the Big Twelve and NCAA tournaments during his lone season at Kansas in 2013-14. Embiid initially hurt his back Feb. 8 against West Virginia. After returning to action, he aggravated the injury March 1 at Oklahoma State.
 
Good point Andrew's defense is leagues above Zach, I see that but i feel like Andrew's offensive skill set wont reach Zach's level

And idk I havent seen too much of either but is Wiggins really a better shooter?

You can't possibly be serious
 
Stress fracture in his back and foot? Career over before it even started

Literally couldn't have bigger red flags than those two

andrew is way better offensively dude much more diverse offensive skill set........zach lavine is a bouncy volume shooter...... andrew wiggins has potential to be top 5 player.....zach lavines peak would be westbrook lite 
 
i ran into Latrell Spreewell at a festival last night. He got fat and he was hitting on two 6's. The rumors appear to be true. Surprised at the lack of attention he got. No one had a clue how good that guy was at one point. I didnt take a picture because taking pictures of people in public make me feel incredibly awkward and I think its kinda rude. That's my story.

Which festival bro? Yeah ever since I saw those pics of him being a bouncer at a dive bar I figured his life took a turn
 
Embid career over and even he might know it. No way hell be able to get through full seasons.

Hes gonna need a miracle

Bastille Days. Part of downtown Milwaukee that he apparently always hangs around. First time seeing him though.
 
If you're a free agent, why would you go to Philly when LA has a better core and a GM with a winning pedigree? Philly has 2 players, maybe 3, and they all play the same position. Lakers have a balanced crop of young talent and decent role players.

People sure having been overrating that "balanced crop of young talent" for awhile now, making it seem like they were untouchable in trades :lol
 
Neither are getting free agents, so is one really better than the other in that regard?

And until either the Lakers, Knicks, or 76ers start winning and bringing in free agents its a moot point to discuss.

Shouldn't be untouchable but after the witnessing the Knicks debacle it makes more sense building around 3 or 4 youngsters than packaging them somewhere and having a flawed roster w one great player. Lakers have a nice core. Two dynamic guards, two big men with promise, a potentially reinvigorated Roy Hibbert. Team just needs a couple of wings that can score.
