Great article about Mr. Embiid's play (including lots of data to support it)

Trust the progress: Joel Embiid is even better than you thought
www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23218733/phi...-player-people-think

And there's this nice comparison with Wilt:

Typically, trotting out per-36 minute numbers is a dangerous game. After all, rarely do you find players who actually maintain their level of performance when given extended burn. Here's the thing, though: The more Embiid plays, the better he is. When he clocked at least 30 minutes this season, he averaged 25.7 points. In the 10 games in which Embiid logged 35 minutes, he produced all-time great numbers (28.9 PPG, 11.6 RPG). The only player in NBA history to match that level of career production at those minutes? Some guy named Wilt Chamberlain.

Around tournament time, there was a fun (?) article about if the remaining teams could "suit up and play" their current BEST pro.....who would win.

Kansas with Joel spanked everyone.....hands down.

Glad the young man is healthy and winning!!! And he still loves his Hawks!

That sounds like a great article, WSG. But yes, can you imagine Joel and Udoka as the co-centerpieces (no pun intended) of our front line. Wow!
