Could Joel Embiid really end up free falling in the NBA Draft?
Ramona Shelburne is reporting that the Lakers have indicated that they would pass on the injured big man if he fell to the No. 7 pick.
.@ramonashelburne reports on @SportsCenter that if Joel Embiid drops as low as 7, the Lakers will likely pass (foot too big of a concern)

Its been reported that it’s highly unlikely the Celtics would let Embiid slip by them at No. 6. Embiid was projected to be a top-three NBA draft pick, if not first overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The freshman 7-foot center also sat out the NCAA tournament because of a stress fracture in his back.
