#5. Cleveland Cavaliers – Joel Embiid, Kansas

7′ 0″, 250 pounds, Center

Wingspan 7′ 5″

Through 14 games at Kansas

21.7 minutes per game

10.5 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, 1.3 assists per game

Per ESPN :

"Embiid is the top center prospect — a force on both ends. He needs to develop his feel for the game and learn to stay out of foul trouble. But he has the building blocks, and most scouts believe he could be an Olajuwon type eventually."
