Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid does it all. He steps out and knocks down jumpers. He punishes mismatches on the low block. He gets to the free-throw line and knocks them down consistently. He is an elite defender. He can score at all three levels and he does it at an efficient rate.

Joel Embiid has made a bold promise to Philadelphia 76ers fans after signing a three-year, $193 million extension with the Sixers.

Paul George and Embiid together also form a strong defensive frontcourt. George had led the league in steals in 2019 with 2.2 per game. He has also been named to two all-defensive first teams (2014, 2019) and two all-defensive second teams (2013, 2016).
