Also remember at this time last year, we had Patrick Young, Chris Walker, and Damontre Harris on the roster for this year, meaning we had 3 other big guys to compete against for playing time.
He went to Kansas and to some degree walked into the starting lineup considering Kansas lost much if not their entire front line. The other thing is Norm Roberts was on Billy Donovan's staff for about 1 year when Embiid first got to Gainesville, he's now at Kansas as Bill Self's #1 assistant...could have possibly been a connection there...

Everyone knew he would be a star, but thought it would take home a year or two to develop into a prime time big man. After last night, he may be a one and done.
