That workout Joel Embiid looked so impressive in - there's video now.
Embiid quickly re-asserting claim to # 1 pick here. Added muscle, still has quick feet & a beautiful jumper. No evidence of back issues

Embiid certainly looks good in the video and shows no signs of the back and knee ailments that caused him to miss time at Kansas, but it's one thing to look good in a controlled setting - staying on top of his game once the bodies start banging is a whole different animal.
Whether or not the Kansas big man can stay healthy will determine whether he can become one of the great big men of all-time, or whether he'll be just another draft bust.
Here's hoping the good Embiid hangs around for good.
