If you want to talk about the best players this season, I believe many fans will mention Embiid, from the perspective of personal performance, this is indeed the case. Embiid, as a center forward, played his own dominance in the small-ball era, and in the game he attacked and defended, and was able to influence the game in all aspects. His low-post back is mature, the interior finish is efficient, and the shooting feel is soft, not afraid of confrontation, and the ability to create fouls is very strong. No matter what kind of defense he faces, he can complete the scoring and has a strong personal ability. Embiid played his career best this season, becoming one of the league's brightest players this season.
The data shows that in the games that have ended, Embiid averaged 30 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, averaging 30 points per game in the league. As a center, in the small-ball era, he was able to lead the league in points per game, and such a performance is definitely a phenomenon. Embiid is also very good in terms of shooting efficiency, with an overall shooting rate of 49% and a three-point shooting rate of 36.4%, which is a highly efficient performance.
In terms of influence on the team, Embiid also leads the team, and his plus-minus this season is +4.7, which is 21st in the league and 1st on the team. At the critical moment of the game, Embiid can also show the temperament of the leader and take on what the leader should do. The data shows that in the last 5 minutes, the score gap is within 5 points, Embiid can average 4.9 points per game, shooting as high as 50%, shooting 45.5% from three-point range, and he is the first in the league in key moments, ahead of players such as Morant, Jokic and James.
Embiid is very critical for the 76ers in the game, even after the follow-up Harden came to the team, Embiid is still the absolute core of the team, his attack under the basket, his influence on the defensive end, and his play at key moments, in these aspects he can provide the team with great help. This season, under Embiid's leadership, the 76ers also achieved a record of 43 wins and 26 losses, ranking third in the East, only 0.5 wins behind the Bucks, who are no. 2 in the East, and the gap is very small.
From the current point of view, Embiid has played the best performance of his career this season, he has fully displayed his talent, played at his peak, and is in good personal condition. In my opinion, if Embiid can stabilize his current performance and lead the team to more victories, then he has the potential to hit three major awards this season, namely the regular season MVP, the best first team and the scoring champion.
Although Embiid's high-level stats are inferior and inefficient compared to Jokic at this stage, the current advantage of the 76ers is that their record is better than that of the Nuggets. If in the follow-up game, Embiid can lead the 76ers to the top two in the East, then even in the case of high-level statistics not as good as Jokic, Embiid has the hope of impacting the regular season MVP and the best first team, and if he can continue his current performance, then he will get the scoring champion, this is not a very difficult thing, Embiid can win these three honors at the same time this season, which is worth looking forward to.
