Joel Embiid (PHI) – “JoJo” 
Profile:
Center: 7’2, 250 lbs; 2nd year, Kansas
NBA Role: star, two-way pivot • Top DOG
Joel Embiid is FINALLY healthy (worth the wait!) – Philadelphia’s franchise center is an instant star; since his freshman year at Kansas, Joel’s offensive arsenal has expanded/adapted to cater to the modern era: JoJo is comfortable stepping out beyond the arc (gets a lot of looks via trails and/or after screening up top), uses his abnormal athleticism & quickness (for his size) to score facing up, and is strong & agile in the post; patient w/ advanced footwork – Embiid’s able to counter into turnaround Js & hooks if there isn’t an initial advantage; insane defensive ability – moves extremely well from side to side, great anticipation for blocks; needs to cut down on fouling and learn how to play through foul trouble; energy booster – immediately made Philly credible; can his body withstand a full 82-game season? – Embiid is on a minutes restriction to kick off his career; Philly’s undisputed X-Factor
