Joel Embiid has yet to play 500 Games in the NBA. Like most big men, he often misses time due to injury, but the Center has proven to be a top-five player over the last few years, including his 2022-23 MVP.
The now-American enters this season with a seven-season All-Star streak and has averaged well over 30 Points per Game over the last three seasons. This is all fantastic and displays a Hall of Fame career, but Embiid has yet to will his hard-luck Sixers into even an Eastern Conference Final.
The Hall will call his name, but he has to bring Philadelphia deeper into meaningful soring basketball than before.
