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

Thinking Basketball made a good video about the Sixers' offense and why it's actually slightly better this year than last year with Harden gone.

Philly has essentially chopped their isolations in half, and Nurse has introduced a ton of movement into the offense. Philly now uses "handoffs" a lot now, and a lot of opportunities for cutters/shooters open up from that which Maxey can find either in a P&R or Embiid can find from the short roll/elbow
