Embiid awes in so many ways, but the one that gets me is his mastery of the midrange. He is 7-foot and 280 pounds, and he has become a midrange killer. It’s mind-boggling.
Know who the leaders are this season in field goal percentage from 14-to-23 feet out? It’s Kevin Durant at 57.7 percent, then Embiid at 52.3 percent, then Kawhi Leonard at 50.2 percent. Just two of the best midrange players we’ve ever seen … and Embiid.
He’s not a catch-and-shoot guy, he’s a create-his-own-shot monster.
