We had waited two years for his debut. It was Oct. 26, 2016. With the Philadelphia 76ers up 8-2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Joel Embiid dribbled twice toward the top of the key. He planted a pivot foot, spun right, came back to the center, and lifted a sweet jumpshot. Swish.
His first official NBA basket was a tease of what was to come. With four seasons of highlights etched into our memories and over 200 games under his belt, Joel has expanded his skill set. Yet, has he tried to add too much to his game?
