Tuesday, Joel Embiid wondered aloud who Sam Hinkie – the former Philadelphia 76ers general manager who drafted Embiid – would vote for to make the 2016 All-Star Game.

Turns out Hinkie - along with many of us - is totally rallying for Embiid to be in New Orleans this year.
I got you

Hinkie left the Sixers in 2015. He long implored 76ers fans to "trust the process" after selecting an injured Embiid third overall in 2014.
