Another one bites the dust. As expected, Kansas center Joel Embiid has officially declared for the NBA draft today. This was fully expected by experts and there is a strong possibility that Embiid may go #1 overall in the June festivities. By declaring, Embiid joins his Kansas teammate Andrew Wiggins, both who are expected to be selected very high in the lottery.

the major question mark with Embiid will be his nagging back issues, which forced him to miss a good portion of the season for Kansas, including the entire NCAA tournament. Despite that, Embiid may be the most intriguing player in the draft, as you rarely see a player come around with his impressive skill set. All eyes now turn to Duke’s Jabari Parker, making him the last major underclassmen that has not disclosed his decision for next season.
