"Excellent athleticism, incredible reach, defender-like agility, it's all condensed into a 6'10" body. The most obvious drawback is that the body is too weak. Davis' strengths are as obvious as his weaknesses, but his weaknesses can be addressed, and his talent is clearly not possessed by other players. ”
This is the early evaluation of Davis in the NBA Chinese network, very pertinent, Davis also slowly solved his physical shortcomings in the league, and helped the Lakers win the seventeenth championship trophy in the history of the Lakers in 2020, and the first championship trophy of his career.
In 2020, although he won the championship, he regretfully lost the FMVP trophy, and he thought that he would usher in the peak of his career, he would win MVP, best defensive player, be selected to the best team, and even a new championship. But in the next three seasons, bumps and bumps, no results.
In the 2020-2021 season, he played only 36 games, averaging 21.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game; in the 2021-2022 season, he played 40 times, averaging 23.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. In the past two years, because he lacked too many games, he did not get any valuable honors. This season, the slightly better thick eyebrows are back, but not the best, after all, even the All-Star has not scored, only 56 appearances, not to the league's 70% of the award line, the best defensive player and the best team are not with it.
The only good news is that he's still on his way to the championship and FMVP.
Debut, career so far, 1 championship, 8 All-Stars, an All-Star MVP, 3 blocks, 4 All-Team First Team, 2 Best Defensive First Team, 2 Best Defensive Second Team, 1 Best Rookie First Team, 4 Best of the Month, 9 Best of the Week.
A career single-game high of 59 points, 26 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 steals and 10 blocks.
"Joel Embiid's technique is still crude, but it is strong and progresses quickly; Physique, athleticism, coordination, explosiveness, and agility that differs from most center forwards are the keys that set him apart; Has decent ball handling and footwork, even surpassing some defenders among college players. Embiid, on the other hand, is often caught in foul trouble by the feint of his opponent; Standing positions need to continue learning; In the attack, you need to find a suitable position for the attack, and lack your own signature moves; Very little experience in the competition; The potential is huge. ”
This was ESPN's early assessment of Embiid, who slowly addressed his shortcomings and won his first MVP trophy this year.
The three years after the thick eyebrows won the championship were three years of Embiid's harvest.
Not only did he win MVP, but he was also named to the Eastern Conference All-Star starting team for three consecutive years, and won 2 All-NBA Second Team, 1 All-NBA First Team and 1 All-Defensive Second Team in those three years.
Tanhua debuted, so far in his career, he has won 1 regular season MVP, 6 All-Stars, 2 scoring champions, 1 first team, 5 second teams, 3 best defensive second teams, 1 best rookie first team, 7 times best of the month, 11 times best of the week.
A career single-game high of 59 points, 22 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals and 7 blocks.
As the two best big men in the league except Jokic, their statistics and glory are very similar. Before Embiid got the MVP, the thick-eyed brother was Embiid, after all, he was selected into the 75th, but with the rise of Embiid in the past two years, the gap between the two is slowly narrowing, and the status of the two is now very close, basically the 75 goalkeeper.
But it is worth mentioning that Embiid has been out of the Eastern Conference semifinals and lost the opportunity to compete for this year's championship, and Thick Eyebrows is still on the way to chase the championship, if Thick Eyebrows wins this year's championship or even FMVP, then he will open the status gap with Embiid and enter the status discussion of the top 50 in history.
