Is it too early to name an MVP favorite? Yes. But that doesn’t mean it’s too early to discuss which players have stood out in the 2018-19 NBA season. Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid happens to be among that group.
While the Sixers haven’t been overly impressive as a collective unit, Embiid is off to the best start of his young career. Other teams — Raptors, Bucks, Warriors, etc. — have gotten off to quick starts and have elite players of their own.
This season is already shaping up to be highly entertaining.
