2347279, He's a 5, Embiid would be the stretch four because he can actually shoot

That jumper that Noel has even though he's been working at it is gonna take some more time.

Brown's goal is for him to shoot at least 60% from the line and be a scorer around the basket but not really a guy he expects to be standing in spots taking 15 footers.

You might rotate Noel to the 4 and Embiid to the 5 on the defensive side but who knows.

Both can be rim-protectors at that end.

Health wise Noel is going to be better than Tyson Chandler, I'd say at worst he'll be Camby.

And while I would like to see Embiid play, some doctors even speculate he could be ready by start of season, all indicators are that he is getting 'red-shirted' like Noel was last season.
