Embiid is currently leading the league in PPG at 31.9 in just 34 minutes per game. He is also averaging 6.2 APG. (32/11/6). He's also shooting a career high 88.5% from the free throw line.

This means he is scoring more than, and assisting as much or more than the following guards:

Steph Curry

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Donovan Mitchell

Anthony Edwards

Tyrese Maxey

Damien Lillard (tied in APG)

Jalen Brunson

Kyrie Irving
