Durability of his foot long term is scary to me, but injuries aside, I think he's the best big on that team and there isn't really much competition. He might not have the iso scoring ability Jahlil has, but that's an overrated skill in today's NBA anyway. He should be much more versatile offensively, and much better at protecting the rim (Okafor is awful at this so hard to be worse). Noel probably moves better laterally, making him better if drawn out to the perimeter or when icing/hedging screens. But yeah. Loved Embiid his draft year. Seems like a good kid too. Hope the injures don't end up a recurring problem.
Edit: Guess if you consider Simmons a big then I'm wrong, but we still consider him a wing at this point, right?
