Joel Embiid’s passing needs to improve

Through the first two games of the second round against the Toronto Raptors, it should surprise no one that Joel Embiid is having struggles against Marc Gasol. Embiid, who claimed to be the most unstoppable player in the league earlier this season, has performed poorly against Gasol before, much like he has Al Horford. That, in combination with the ailing sickness and debilitating knee, has led to a 7/25 shooting clip.

An aspect of his game he is struggling most with is his passing, though. It is surprising, given that he had taken strides as a passer throughout the season.
