Reading too far into the different competitions on All-Star Saturday Night can be pointless, but Joel Embiid will find himself competing in one of the more interesting events this year. He’s one of four bigs in the Skills Challange, which consists of passing, shooting and ball handling.
Like it has for a couple of years now, the bracket will boil down to a guard v.s. a big in the final round.
I’m still of the belief that this challenge is extremely guard-friendly, even if Karl-Anthony Towns and Kristaps Porzingis have given the bigs back-to-back wins.
