Joel Embiid is the Phladelphia 76ers’ best player. He is that rare center who is capable of scoring back-to-the-basket in a style expected from players that are around seven-feet tall. He can score through open-and-contested mid-range jumpers. And he can even score from behind the three-point line.
His ability to make three-pointers allows the Sixers to make the NBA’s most important shot from a position where it’s not expected. That allows the team to compensate for Ben Simmons’ lack of three-point shooting ability. Still, is it possible that Embiid is taking too many three-point shots?
