Breakdown Joel Embiid

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 3rd among C's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 43rd with 265 total points (37.86 avg).
  • He is currently 1108 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He is in a heck of a slump. You might be able to get him now for a discount.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 5.4 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 47.54% from the field this month.
  • Shooting 27.27% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.

  • Rebounds per game numbers are bad for a center / power forward at 1.91 rpg this month.
  • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 19 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: -9.21, APG: -0.62, RPG: -3.33, MPG: --0.51 STLS: --0.47 BLKS: --0.55
