Joel Embiid - Rugged Rim Protector 17/18 Part 2

Joel Embiid. NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2017 despite only playing 31 games last season. He was named an NBA All-Star in 2018. He has nicknamed himself The Process, and Philadelphia fans certainly trust the process (#TTP). In only his second year in the league, he finished his season averaging 22.9 points per game (12th in league), 11.0 rebounds per (7th), 1.8 blocks per game (5th best), with a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) in the top 20. He’s also just missed the top 5 in Defensive Win Shares (6th), not bad for a 23 year old. The Philadelphia 76ers sit at 45-30 at the time this is being written, and are 3-8 without Joel Embiid, which is to say that the 76ers don’t just trust The Process, they are very reliant on him.

What is there really to say about Embiid? He reminds some of Hakeem Olajuwon, not just with his offensive repertoire, but because of his agility and ability to be a nightmare on the defensive end. He is dynamic and incredibly dangerous when it comes to blocking shots. He is nimble and nearly everywhere on the court at all times with his length, timing, and capacity to cover ground. He’s still only 23, which means he is still learning when to chase, when to stunt, and when to go all out, so what’s frightening about Embiid is that he still has a ways to go before becoming as complete as player as he can be.

The last time I posted a Joel Embiid defense video, it got taken down, but I have a link for you in case you still want to watch it.

PS. I didn’t know what to do with all the other defensive highlights (like him snuffing out perimeter players in the clutch, or making key plays to pick off the ball) of him so I just tacked them all on the end. Enjoy!
