Do you know how USG% is calculated? Turnovers are literally a part of the formula, hence why their USG is so high.
Side note: free throw attempts are also a part of the calculation, again them 4 players you mentioned are also the top 4 highest FTA players in the league as well (coincidentally some of the top floppers in the league too). So yeah, you bringing up USG% and not understanding how it works is about as irrelevant as Hydro bringing it up yesterday.
Secondary side note: Having a high USG% while simultaneously having low TO averages and elite TS% really dictates how effective an offensive scorer is. There is one player that fits this category…. Can’t think of who this would be though :rolleyes:
Their USG% is not so high because of their turnovers though, that's only a part of the calculation.
Also, take a look at TOV% and you'll see Embiid is nowhere near the top. In fact, there are 64 players in the league who have a higher TOV% than him including Draymond, Jokic, PG, Smart, KAT, Brogdon, Adebayo, Lillard, etc.
Now I know you're not talking up your boy Jayson "Rudy Gay" Tatum when he has more TURNOVERS over his last 11 games than he does assists rofl. His AST% is 18.4% which is 68th in the NBA and you're out here talking this guy up like he's Luka or something.
