Embiid is currently leading the league in PPG at 31.9 in just 34 minutes per game. He is also averaging 6.2 APG. (32/11/6). He’s also shooting a career high 88.5% from the free throw line.
This means he is scoring more than, and assisting as much or more than the following guards:
Steph Curry
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Donovan Mitchell
Anthony Edwards
Tyrese Maxey
Damien Lillard (tied in APG)
Jalen Brunson
Kyrie Irving
I think having guys like PJ as a part time 9th man works.
But when the other team can plan for him being a reluctant shooter in the same spot every possession, it’s so hard to run half court offense in the playoffs. Same with Ben in dunker spot. Just playing 4 on 5
