Joel Embiid could begin his NBA career this upcoming season after he was drafted third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014.

He understands what the franchise went through in order to obtain him.

The 22-year-old paid homage to The Process on Saturday, posting a photo of him and former Sixers GM Sam Hinkie, who he refers to as "THE GOAT."

Hinkie was "effectively fired" after facilitating perhaps the most aggressive tank job rebuild the league has ever seen.

That futility might finally be paying off, as a skills coach posted this video Friday of Embiid looking pretty damn healthy:
