Ben Simmons’ refusal to play for the Sixers this season has given him a greater offensive role and has been the great leader the team has needed. In addition, he became a more collective player, as he has the best assist average of his career with 4.2.
In total, Embiid has an average of 27.3 points, with 10.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32.9 minutes.
