yes. that one.

This sums things up perfectly if the gaymedayers tell you taking Embiid was a mistake.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH the wasted lottery pick that's disheartening, as many lottery picks are wasted over the years, for various reasons. The goal at the top of the lottery isn't to draft for production, or even to get good players. Those players come along every year, and missing out on them isn't a drastic setback for a rebuilding organization.

The goal, for the Sixers and for most teams in the position the Sixers found themselves in after the Andrew Bynum trade, is to find the potential for greatness, to find a guy who can elevate the team into being relevant in the NBA. Joel Embiid had (and, possibly, still has) that potential, whereas I'm not sure I see that in Marcus Smart, Dante Exum, Aaron Gordon or Julius Randle, some of the other options available to the Sixers at No. 3. Those guys are pieces, but replaceable. Embiid had/has the potential to be much more.

The sadness for Sixers fans comes in the form of what could have been. Embiid has the type of talent to dominate on both ends of the court. The combination of size and strength, elite explosiveness, and the coordination and fluidity that suggests an incredible natural athlete, along with the high learning curve necessary to be truly special.

For as much ability as Nerlens Noel has to change a game defensively, he has to make significant strides in his offensive game to be dominant on both ends of the court. And, for as skilled as Okafor is in the post, his defensive game has significant question marks. Embiid, at least in his basketball résumé, had no such major concerns.

The real devastation for Sixers fans is not what the team could have missed when selecting No. 3 overall in 2014, but that the team could have had a generational talent in their hands, only to have it slip away. It's the kind of missed opportunity that haunts fanbases.

Their lineup looks like a bunch of nice pieces, but no one with star potential. I guess maybe Hezonja.

They need more shooters though
