6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid posted a dominant line against the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring 31 points to go along with 19 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two three-pointers on 11-for-23 shooting. Embiid did struggle with turnovers, recording seven in 32 minutes, but his nine-category production has him rivaling top overall value. The 24-year-old also registered a terrible foul on Anthony Davis' attempt from three with 2.5 seconds left, but the Pelicans star was only able to hit the first two and missed the final try for the Pelicans to lose by one. Despite his fouling issues and high turnover rate, Embiid has been one of the best players in the NBA this season.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
