An injury is the only way Embiid doesn't get in this season. He put up remarkable numbers last season for someone who played under a minutes restriction of 25. He missed out last season mainly because of injuries which limited him to only 31 games and the fact that Philly wasn't in the Playoffs mix. With a year under their belt and the additions of Simmons, Fultz, and Redick should keep the 76ers in the mix for the final playoff spots in the extremely weak East.

Much like Towns, Embiid is the perfect Modern Day big. He surprised a few people with his 3 point shot last season and has drawn comparisons with Olajuwon for his post skills. Unlike Towns, however, the 76ers were among the best defensive teams last season when Embiid was on the court. Provided he stays healthy, he'll be a perennial all-star.
