Date: April 12th, 2023 8:34 AM Author: boyish ultramarine public bath crotch Embiid is awesome, and if the entire NBA was IRL redrafted I would pick him ahead of Jokic and Tatum. I have a hard time taking him over Giannis just because of injuries and less quality minutes/lower stamina/plays he takes off. He’s arguably less additive than Jokic on offense bc of Jokic’s passing, and statistically Jokic just is an offense machine, but Embiid’s a bigger problem on ball who creates more space on the floor for others because of his drive skills, and he’s a muuuuch better rim protector and on ball defender. If you paired him with a team full of elite perimeter defenders who could shoot threes you’d win rings every year. Ie if you gave Embiid to Pop or another good coach plus a good GM like RC Slocum they’d win 60+ games every year and he’d be well rested and dominant in the conference finals and finals. Sadly he has the retarded moron Doc Rivers as his coach and Elton Brand is even worse as a GM, But Embiid is blowing away Jokic in Real Plus Minus this year despite their plus minuses being roughly equal, so advanced stats make a pretty compelling case for Embiid.

Date: April 12th, 2023 9:24 AM Author: splenetic forum generalized bond Just gloss over the facts that Jokic is #1 in FG%, #1 in TS%, #3 in assists, and 4 of his teammates are having career seasons. Yes Embiid is marginally better on defense but he's not even in consideration for DPOY so who cares. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5277287&forum_id=2#46175151) |

Date: April 12th, 2023 10:15 AM Author: boyish ultramarine public bath crotch At the risk of stating what ought to be very obvious, it matters more that Embiid is a better defender because it makes him more valuable and it’s the primary reason why he crushes Jokic in T+/-. The fact that Jokic has better players around him devalues his assist stats and makes it easier for him to get easy shots. That said Jokic is objectively and independently amazing. As much as people bitch about Curry ruining the game we’re living in a time when 4 of the greatest centers ever are playing in their primes against each other in meaningful games throughout every season. I was talking about this the other day, but eg prime David Robinson is not fit to carry any of these dude’s jocks and would effectively be Rudy Gobert if he played today.

Date: April 12th, 2023 1:41 PM Author: splenetic forum generalized bond Points are well taken but Embiid obviously has better teammates than Denver's castoffs who only became good with Jokic. Defense argument would go further before stat nerds solved the NBA in mid-2000s and it became apparent that the best defense is a turbo-charged offense. Jokic's eFG% and assist/turnover ratio are absolutely absurd, i.e., video game franchise mode shit. Embiid has a lot of heart and he's a great scorer, but he takes a ton more shots than Jokic and doesn't make plays for anyone else. Luka Doncic has the highest active PPG of any active players (3rd all time), would be taken over Embiid right now by 30 out of 30 GMs, and he's sps compared to Jokic.

Date: April 12th, 2023 2:43 PM Author: boyish ultramarine public bath crotch Jokic actually turns it over a lot. 3.6/game this year, 4th highest in the league. Embiid does too, but Jokic is hurt by TOs relative to most centers, including Embiid. Your defense take is half right, but rim protection is still a vital skill in the playoffs with more half court possessions and against the best players (who typically play on the best teams). We’ll just have to agree to disagree on supporting casts, but Embiid objectively does have a below average GM and coach. Seth Curry is a perfect player to compliment Embiid and should never have been traded to get a ball dominant, defensive liability guard. And Doc has done an awful job with rotations and managing Embiid’s minutes and the result is they will still have to beat Boston and the Bucks to even make the Finals. Again Pop would’ve won five rings with the Sixers 2020 roster. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5277287&forum_id=2#46176561) |

|
Date: April 12th, 2023 1:45 PM Author: Tripping exhilarant internal respiration No one who knows anything about basketball thinks Jokic deserves 3 MVPs in a row. Context is everything and if you didn't use advance stats and evaluated him like everyone did for all of time EXCEPT for the last 10 years, he would have won 1 at best.
Sorry. Those are the facts. And no one with a brain in their head if drafting right now would take Jokic over Embiid if we redrafted because of defense alone. |
|
Date: April 12th, 2023 1:52 PM Author: splenetic forum generalized bond No one who knows anything about basketball thinks Kobe and Shaq should each have 1 MVP. It's honestly more about cumulative MVP win share than anything and in that category Jokic, Giannis and Embiid aren't really that far apart.
