Kip Smithers Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 This might be a bit nit picky but for as physically dominant and overwhelming Embiid is his FG% should be quite a bit higher than it is now and definitely much higher than his career FG%.

Probably a bit nitpicky. His career TS% (though the caveat being this year is a real outlier that inflates the number) is higher than Kareem, Wilt, Moses, Shaq, and I could go on. Harping simply on FG% doesn't paint the whole picture considering what we know about efficiency now. But I do agree that, considering how much stronger he is than most of his opponents, it seems like it should be easier for him to work his way into easier buckets. He uses that, plus his elite flopping ability, to get FTs at an all-time great rate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, shooting at a career level this year but compared to other bigs his size, he settles more from the perimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just brought it up to highlight what you just said which is that he should be taking advantage of his physical dominance by banging down low rather than settling. Especially that there aren’t really the bigs in today’s  game that could check him. I think he’s definitely doing it more now than ever before though tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amac Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Curious to see where people will rank CP3 among all time PGs when all is said and done. One of the most complete true PGs ever. Aside from a couple guys you could make a case for him over just about anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue him over Magic or Steph, but with a title (with some hero play from him to help overcome some of his playoff gaffes) it's hard to argue anyone else over him.

His TS% is 63.6% this year, that's pretty damn good. Historically he's been less efficient than you'd expect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the Nuggets can take the 3rd seed just looking at the schedules, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
