I’m not sure how far Kansas center Joel Embiid will fall in the draft, but he definitely won’t go No. 2 overall to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry spoke at a press club and rotary club event on Monday morning, and discussed his team’s draft plans, which no longer include Embiid.
Lasry is ruling out Bucks taking Embiid. "Our decision got a lot easier, mainly because Embiid got hurt."

"It's hard to take Embiid," Lasry said. "We want somebody who is going to help us on Day 1."

Embiid had surgery on his fractured foot on Friday, and he will be out of action for four to six months.
