Joel Embiid and Julius Randle both missed their rookie seasons, but their careers are already moving two very different directions.
Julius Randle may have lost his rookie season to a broken leg, but he's stormed back like a Texas tornado, and the Los Angeles Lakers should feel optimistic about his successful return to action. The Philadelphia 76ers would face a similar dilemma with Joel Embiid following the draft, selecting the ultra-talented big man just a few picks before the Lakers. Embiid is now likely to miss the entire '15-16 season, and an illuminating report from Brian Geltzeiler of The Cauldron paints an ugly picture in Philadelphia.
