Doesn't surprise me that Self recognized that so quickly.
I also think anybody who watched Embiid in his one season here knew he was likely to be the best player in that draft and almost certainly a HOF level talent. He had ridiculous movement/coordination/fluidity for someone his size and was doing things at that age that the vast majority of NBA players don't do for their entire careers.
Of course, that one short season wasn't gonna be enough to overcome the years of Wiggins hype built up from his early HS days to make him the #1 pick, but those teams certainly wish they took him now.
