Joel Embiid’s effect on and off the court

After averaging 20.2 points, 2.1 assists, and 7.8 rebounds per game while making 36 3-pointers from the center spot in the 31 games he played in his rookie season, it’s not surprising that Joel Embiid became an All-Star starter in his second season.

Now averaging 23.7 points, 3.1 assists, and 11.1 rebounds per game while making 43 3-pointers in 44 games. Watching Embiid play and looking at his stats obviously show a great player, but how a team plays with their best on the court to how they play with them off the court really shows what a truly great player is.
