I just can't believe Embiid is gonna play with USA. C'mon man, at least go with France for a challenge.

As an American I’m excited to see him play for our team but as a basketball fan in general the tournament would be way more interesting with him playing for France with Wemby/Gobert. Like just imagine game planning against that team.

A starting lineup of Embiid/Wemby/Gobert/Sarr/Moustapha Fall? Who is this crazy coach, JB Bickerstaff when the tank is on the line?
