Embiid averages 6.1 post-ups per game, per nba.com. This leads the league, but its way down from his peak of 9.3 post-ups per game in 2020-2021. Nba.com has Embiid averaging 1.17 points per possession, which is higher than anyone averaging over 2.5 post-ups per game except Porzingis, who averages a whopping 1.41 PPP but on half the volume of Embiid (3.1 post-ups per game). Only Jokic has similar volume to Embiid (5.9 post-ups per game), but nba.com has him averaging 1.14 PPP. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Probably has done wonders for his stamina and has allowed him to reach 34 MPG
Jerami Grant and Jokic with the same post success…love it!
The action is probably way more dangerous now too with Embiid’s improved passing
OKCs most efficient play just being Shai iso ball is crazy.
I would guess most of our most effective everything involves Joel Embiid.
