Joel Embiid is averaging 33.4 ppg

[fourkicks44]

Embiid was drafted at 3 in spite of his injury concerns. His talent was well known.

Jokic was drafted at 41.

Joel as never drafted 3 because of his potential shooting and you know it.

He was drafted as a project rim runner and shot blocker with potential post scoring because of his height and athletic ability.

A handful of games and Kansas gave no indication of how high his shooting ceiling truly could be. Nobody had a clue what was to happen.

Even crazier considering he picked up a basketball for the first time at 16 about the same age Jokic was playing professionally in Europe.

I remember being laughed at for saying it was easier for centers in today's game due to the spacing

Now we see bigs like Giannis, Embiid and Jokic literally ripping up the stat sheet - they're answering the age-old question, aka "what would robinson or hakeem or shaq do in today's game"

derrick coleman, mashburn, kemp - would destroy today's game and many more.. detlef schrempf would be a HOF lock

Brad Daugherty in this era would do that as well.
