Joel Embiid's Incredible Run
Joel Embiid, the center for the Philadelphia 76ers, has been on a tear lately. In his last 10 games, he's averaging 34.7 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 55.3% from the field and 36.4% from 3-point range. These are truly incredible numbers, and they've helped lead the 76ers to a 8-2 record in those 10 games. One of the most impressive things about Embiid's recent performances is the sheer volume of points he's scoring. He's been scoring at an historic rate, and he's currently second in the league in points per game, behind only Luka Doncic. But Embiid's scoring isn't just a result of volume; he's also been incredibly efficient. He's shooting 55.3% from the field, which is well above his career average of 49.4%. He's also been hitting his 3-pointers at a 36.4% clip, which is also well above his career average of 33.9%. This efficiency has allowed him to score a lot of points without needing to take a lot of shots.
