First it was Klay Thompson, and then C.J. McCollum. Next it will be Joel Embiid. I’m confident the Philadelphia 76ers‘ star big man has what it takes to join the pantheon of short-term scorers.
This challenge is relatively new, mostly because I just made it up. Inspired by the nonstop coverage of McCollum’s recent 50-point outburst in under 30 minutes of play, and when put side by side with Thompson’s 60-point display in under 30 minutes from last season, I knew this trend was bound to catch on.
