1. Milwaukee Bucks – Joel Embiid, University of Kansas
Embiid, the center prospect out of the University of Kansas, has drawn some pretty big comparisons. I’ve heard some say that this kid could be the next Hakeem Olajuwon. If you are getting comparisons to Olajuwon, that is a hard thing to pass up. The only thing I wonder about is, like the situation the Jazz have, will Embiid be able to play alongside Larry Sanders. Sanders had a pretty good year last year and looked to be one of the better young centers in the game. This season has seen him injured throughout most of the year, but should be ready for next season. Will Embiid and Sanders be able to co-exist?
