This might not be very popular, but Joel Embiid is currently leading the league in PPG at 31.9 ppg. He is having another really good season.
Rounding out the top 10:
-
KD (31.4 ppg)
-
Luka Doncic (30.5 ppg)
-
SGA (30.4)
-
Giannis (29.7)
-
Steph (29.7)
-
Jokic (28.2)
-
Jayson Tatum (27.8)
-
Anthony Edwards (26.7)
-
Tyrese Maxey (26.3)
This list matches the eye test very well.
He has been, having a down year with efficiency but that was expected without harden getting him easy looks
Jo’s assists are up significantly. He had 9 tonight. He will have triple doubles when Oubre is back in the lineup.
I think players will start respecting Maxey more and sag off Embiid a bit more to give him more space to drive
