ESPN ranks Sixers star Joel Embiid as the 4th best player in the league

ESPN’s NBARank has Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid ranked as the 4th best player in the league entering the new season.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid had one of the more extraordinary seasons in the 2021-22 season. The big fella averaged 30.6 points to become the first big man to lead the league in scoring since Shaquille O’Neal in 2000 and the first big man to average 30 in a season since Moses Malone in 1982.

Embiid was able to do it all out on the floor. He was taking defenders off the dribble, he was getting to the basket, he was knocking down jumpers, he was getting to the free-throw line, and he made it all look so easy. He shot 49.9% from the floor and he threw the Sixers on his back when the time called for it.

As the 2022-23 season gets set to begin in a few weeks, now is the time for ESPN’s NBARank of the top 100 players in the game and Embiid came in ranked fourth on the list:
