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