There's a case to be made that Joel Embiid is one of the five most valuable players in the NBA right now.
If we're being honest, he has zero chance of winning the MVP award and might not receive any votes, which on the surface makes sense based strictly on his availability. The 76ers fan favorite has missed 14 games, has yet to play 30 minutes in any game and has been on the floor for less than 36 percent of his team's total minutes.
Embiid's play has been a nice story for sure, but one worthy of a near-podium MVP finish?
