JOEL EMBIID (PHI)
DIFFERENT BREED
NBA ROLE: ELITE (NEW WAVE) PIVOT
The 2023 NBA MVP, Joel Embiid is a new wave, franchise center + one of the league's most unstoppable players; Joel’s offensive arsenal is advanced, perfectly caters to the modern era: JoJo is comfortable stepping out beyond the arc (gets a lot of looks via trails and/or after screening up top), uses his abnormal athleticism & quickness (for his size) to score facing up, is both mighty & agile in the post; advanced footwork w/ endless counters – Embiid's able to read defenders, then pivot into an alternate move (turnaround Js, hooks, step backs, etc.) if there isn’t an initial advantage; game-changing defender – moves extremely well from side to side, doesn't let shots get past him too easily; needs to cut down on fouls & TOs and stay efficient as a go-to guy; incredibly charismatic – made Sixers credible from Day 1; great, all-star duo w/ Tyrese Maxey; Embiid’s a perennial MVP candidate, Philly’s Undisputed Franchise Player – 2025 title contender if healthy?
