The world has waited this long for Joel Embiid, the third overall pick in 2014, to make his NBA debut. What’s another few months?

The Philadelphia 76ers won Tuesday night’s draft lottery, which isn’t surprising. They had the best odds of securing the No. 1 pick. Plus, you know, Dikembe Mutombo, told us they had won hours beforehand: [tweet https://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/732676479256006657] There are only four possible explanations for this. Scenario No. 1: this could have been accident. Maybe Mutombo, or [...]
