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
The offense has looked fantastic under Nurse. Seems built for the strengths of all of our players. Happy to see Embiid finally add efficient passing to his arsenal.
He’s always had that at least a little. Doc just put him in positions where he was asked to make a ton of tough ass passes that only really good passers should have to consistently make.
