At this point, I'm less interested in sustained excellence and more interested in titles. There are not a lot of OAD players I would take over Mason. But Embiid I would. By the end of the year before he went down with injury, his rim protection was incredible.
Aldrich better than Embiid before he went down? I'm not sure I watched the same games you did.
Now if you want to factor in that Embiid was unavailable for the tourney, sure.

They got a #1 seed almost every year, the overall #1 seed a handful of times. That is all you can ask your team to do. I think many of you have clouded views of how good Embiid was due to him being likely the best NBA player coming from KU since Wilt Chamberlain. All that matters though is how good he was when he was HERE.
Quite frankly, last years Final Four team was probably the 6th best team, if that, from our 14 year conference title run. Just because they made the Final Four, doesn't make them better. It's hard to win a National Title, even if you are the best team.
