Joel Embiid needs to keep taking 3s

Statistically speaking, Joel Embiid is an offensive force to be reckoned with all over the court.

Near the rim is where the Sixer center is most lethal. For players who take more than eight shots per game within five feet, Embiid is eighth in field goal percentage (66.1 percent). In floater range, too, the Sixers center shows deft touch, as one of 13 players who lobs more than 2.0 shots and posts a 47 percent clip or higher.

His offensive output does not come without blemishes, though. Most glaring is his shooting inefficiency from beyond the arc.
