Simply put, Embiid is a REGULAR Season STAT Machine, and that's it. Period. He'll win you 1/2 season of Fantasy Hoops (before he gets injured), that's all he's good for 💀💀💀
Truth. That's why l legit didn't want him OR Booker on this roster. They BOTH are regular season stat machines, but come up short in crunchtime.

As someone who has had Embiid 2 years in a row in fantasy - he will NOT win you fantasy hoops, because he never plays in the fantasy playoffs and misses every 3rd game when he does haha
Foul-Baiting in practice is diabolical 😂 i was a huge Embiid fan when he first got into the league, but now he's James Harden XXL. Stat machine, free throw merchant, playoff choker and injury prone.
When 60% of your game depends on drawing fouls and free throws its gonna show how weak your game is in international tournaments when they dont call chicken shit fouls
He just doesn't care. Dude joined the US team as they have the highest chance of winning the gold medal giving him his best chance of him being a winner.😂

6:14 - Made me painfully realize how much potential we have in this lineup with our bench depth... and how lazy our coaches are pandering to player ego.
Well, obviously, we all know why he chose to play for team USA because it's his best chance at winning gold.. or just in general winning because, like Embiid said himself, he can't win alone, which is the biggest weak minded, loser mentality in recent times. Not having confidence and throwing teammates under the bus smh.
That's what happens when you focus on developing as a free throw merchant instead of actual skills while being a behemoth physically, you won't be the "MVP" playing in a tournament that's not soft like the NBA
Out of shape, and lazy. He has almost completely stopped playing traditional back-to-the-basket big man game. He settles for jumpers 95% of the time. 😅
Nothing is off. He is a huge individual who gets injured every year. He should not be playing in the Olympics. He should be at home resting. If he truly wants to make a run at the playoffs, he needs to chill out. He should also scale back his minutes in the regular season.
It’s not about play with super stars. He always try to get fouls in the post in NBA. He can’t deal with guys has similar size, and he been out of shape makes it even worse.
So Embiid is coming off of his two best games, has only foul baited once or twice in 5 games, and is somehow "getting exposed" ? They've all had their fair share of rough moments, so singling out Embiid is very odd to me. Where's the video about Tatum getting exposed? Or Booker? Because they haven't played well at all in these 5 games.
Davis and adebayo is the best duo for USA these guys are capable of hitting mid range shots.Defensive presence of this bigs has huge impact for their team.
Embiid is overrated, not because he is a bad player, he is a great player but his effort is trash, he feels like he don't want to play playoffs or anything that it is not the regular season games.
I think it's tough for all the stars. Players like Stef and Joel are struggling. Part of the reason, I think, is because they are used to getting so many touches and getting into 'rhythm'. Having to share the ball, playing shorter minutes and wholesale rotations make it difficult if you are used to getting several touches. It is also notable that both of them are the most inexperienced playing Olympic basketball. The best players so far are those with the most experience; that is, LBJ and KD.
Just say you've never watched sixers regular season and just highlights. Jo starts like this every year...plays into shape and all is forgiven when he gets his legs under him.

The issue is that this team was put together, top to bottom, picking up ‘the best’ players and not the right ones. This is a collection of All-Star Weekend ‘stars’ rather than a team built to win. We are far removed from Dream Team 1 and 2. Embiid specifically is way overrated. He was part of that batch of centers considered the best for the sole reason that he can occasionally shoot a 3, and that the center production in the NBA over the last decade has been abysmal. Is he a good player? Yes, but only when the system is built and caters to his play-style. Not when it is him who needs to adapt.
The olympics are exposing no one, it's just that the FIBA rules result in a very different game which many NBA players fail to adapt, like team USA that won bronze last year and some other players like Tatum in this current roster. Your play in a different ruleset has no effect in your play in the NBA.
All that foul bating instead of trying to get the buccet this is his problem and he needs to get in better shape.... He is going into his 30s already it's not a good look
He’s not healthy, but I think a huge part is the size and dimensions of the court. He has a lot less room to do things for both those reasons, and despite his size that’s actually why he’s so good. Pro ball is a game of slight angles, and he relies on those pretty heavily. Ofc part is the lack of refs falling for foul baiting, which is good cuz I hate that shit, but those small changes in space angle and timing for a guy whose dominance is predicated on that than most, is going to be jarring
