Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

At 92 overall, Joel Embiid sits in the game's top tier: #6 of 364 players and #3 among 73 centers.

The game suggests the Post player role for him — a player who scores with his back to the basket and owns the glass. With inside scoring (95), rebounding (93) and mid-range (93), it rates the fit as “Workable”: sound rather than special.

For a center, his standout attributes are defense (91) and inside scoring (95), in the top 2% and 3% of centers respectively.

Build the rotation around him, but cap his minutes near 34 in ordinary weeks and save the heavy nights for the Cup and the playoff race.

At 31 he is at or past his peak, so his value is in the seasons he is playing now.

He earns $55.2M a season with a transfer value of $79.5M — expensive for what he delivers.
