I feel like he'd be a huge upgrade from Cole and Chalmers. I doubt even you would disagree with me that Anthony would be an upgrade over Wade at this point. So the question is would you rather have Anderson and Bosh or Noel and Embiid? I'd take the latter. I think lowest projections would say Noel and Embiid could get you 20-15 and the potenti is there for more. Bosh and Anderson already have hit their ceilings. At worst, Noel and Embiid could anchor the defensive middle. At best, you may be looking at 25-30 and 20 boards. Carter-Williams can guard the point guards and shooting guards and so he and James could be interchangeable. With that 10th pick, go out and try to draft a shooter. A guy like McDermott may be available and he and Young alone make for a better bench than Miami has.

Embiid isnt going to get you anything this year which matters. The lesson of San Antonio isnt lost on James I'm sure. It isnt just a "big 3" that matters, teams have to have depth as well especially since james is looking to reduce regular season minutes. Plus who knows if he has any faith in the Sixers coach as well? While I don't have any idea what will hapen I can guarantee that James is not going to go into any question mark situations
