'EMBIID'S THE whole key, isn't he?"
While the 76ers organization and its fans delight in the fact the team garnered the top draft pick this week, which caused immediate debate about who should be the top selection, Sixers legend Billy Cunningham broke it down pretty easily Thursday when asked about the team's future. He sees that future riding mostly on the right foot of Joel Embiid.
"You get excited about it, but you've really got to do a lot of homework to come to decisions," said Cunningham, who appeared at a ceremony to honor the late Sixers stat man Harvey Pollack.
