In the past few weeks,
Kansas Jayhawks big man Joel Embiid has put himself in consideration for the top pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Of course, he’d need to leap over Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins for that to happen but given his recent play, that doesn’t seem all that unlikely.
One team who’ll likely be in the Embiid sweepstakes (assuming things continue to go south) are the
Los Angeles Lakers who sit at 16-25 and will undoubtedly find themselves as participates in the NBA lottery. That’s good news for the Kansas center though as Embiid appears to be a Lakers fan.
The Cameroonian college basketball who attended high school in Florida (with a hat tip to
@DrewUnga )
tweeted out ‘his’ Lakers were rolling last year during the final few weeks of the NBA’s regular season.
"My Lakers are rollin"
Of course, this doesn’t mean much in the long run considering Embiid can’t play where he wants and the Lakers have no control over their draft order, but sounds like we know where Embiid would like to go if the choice was his.
