Joel Embiid is the best post scorer in the NBA when you consider his blend of volume and efficiency. He’s scored more points per game from post-ups than any player in the league by a mile this season at 9.3, and still ranks in the 93rd percentile in terms of efficiency, scoring 1.12 points per possession.
In the playoffs, though, Embiid hasn’t always been as effective.
Part of his drop off has come due to questionable health and difficult matchups against elite defenses (Al Horford always did a good job bothering him as a Celtic, and Toronto can be smothering with their length and smart double teaming), but it’s still been clear that he could make some improvements in general.
