2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was nearly named the league's MVP in 2021-22. However, he narrowly fell short, with Nikola Jokic claiming the award for the second consecutive time. With the Sixers falling short during the playoffs, Embiid has already begun preparing for the new season by putting in work on the perimeter and improving his finishing touch at the basket. The 28-year-old, who recently underwent surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament, played a career-high 68 games throughout the regular season. He also averaged 30.6 points, 11.7 boards, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals while shooting 37.1% from deep. Nevertheless, while the veteran is already dominant, fantasy managers will certainly benefit if he can sweeten his shot even more and stay on the floor.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
