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

Since this is a post about Embiid I'm also obligated to acknowledge Jokic's obscene statline at 29/14/9 through the first 13 games.

I'm a fan of centers, and the modern NBA is a new golden age for big men, especially as we see the Chet and Wemby coming into the league.

The best centers are now the main playmakers of their teams

Embiid watching Joker win a ring and taking a page or two from how he plays would be smart.

Shout out to Sengun as well. There’s a lot of great young centers in the league right now
