  • He is doing much better than most people thought he would. Can he keep this up?

Breakdown Joel Embiid

    Overview

  • He is currently 2884 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • His average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 40.3.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 36.59% from the field this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Shooting 7.69% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
