Philadelphia 76ers: Ranking the value of each current player
By Derek Hryn
1. Joel Embiid
What more can be said about a talent as special as that of Joel Embiid’s? There really is not much that he can’t do on a basketball court. It seems the only possible thing that could stand in his way these days is injury (knock on wood).
The 24-year-old center has played in just 94 career games since being drafted No. 3 by Philly in 2014. In that time, however, he has proven to be one of the most dominant forces in the NBA when healthy.
He is an All-Star, and earned a spot on the All-Defensive Second Team last year. His career averages are 22.0 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, while shooting 47.8 percent from the field.
The organization must do everything in its power to have him at full capacity for more than 60 or so games this year. In order for the 76ers to complete the process, they must continue to keep “The Process” on the court.
