Giannis for me.

No shame for Embiid, he's a great player but Giannis is a beast and healthier.

I feel this is a no brainer.

I do like Embiid, but Giannis just does more, doesn't miss as many games, and I think is a better teammate.

Yep. I sure as heck wouldn't complain if my team had Embiid...but if I have a choice...I'm taking Giannis.

Availability is the best ability.

In 9 seasons Giannis has missed a total of 82 games.

Embiid missed 215 games just in his first three seasons.

Giannis > Embiid

Good point. But even at 100% and ignoring injuries I still think most would take Giannis

I know I would. Nothing against Embiid, he's a helluva player. But I like the Greek Freak's game a little more.

True...but it would be a more difficult decision.

It would as injuries are a big factor. But I just feel Giannis is a little more diverse than Embiid.

I think Embiid would have nailed this thing if he played more like a 90s center with range.

One thing Giannis has on his side. He's the better all around defender. His DPOY is proof of that.

Giannis- 3x first team defense (and I expect him to be 1st team for this season) & one 2nd team selection

Embiid- 3x all D 2nd team

Yeah, setting aside the injuries, that is what separates them for me. Offensively, they're almost the same guy. lol

Sure, more difficult as in...

you are at a party and looking for some fun, two girls come up to you...one is a "chubby" chick with the cute face, the other one is a hot chick that also has a cute face. Sure, there will always be some that choose the "chubby" but in reality everyone is always going to pick the hot chick. Embiid is the "chubby" chick
