Another star from the Philadelphia 76ers is on this list - Joel Embiid. Embiid, a 7-foot tall center for the Philadelphia 76ers is getting hot game-by-game. He was selected in the 2014 NBA Draft and had a right foot injury, which forced him to miss the next 2 seasons.

In the 2016-17 NBA season, he averaged 20.2 points per game, 7.8 rebounds per game, and 2.1 assists per game. His great rebounding and defensive abilities created a decent amount of space on the team's roster. He also secured a space in the 2016-17 All-Rookie First Team for himself.

In the current 2017-18 NBA season, he is averaging 23.5 points per game, 11.1 rebounds per game, and 3.2 assists per game which help his team in all aspects. With players like Ben Simmons and J. J. Redick, Joel is co-coordinating at both ends of the floor. Joel's ability to execute alley-oop passes from his teammates, drives to the basket with his massive physical built, and defensive skills to block shots and get rebounds over other tall players have helped his team to reduce the number of turnovers and also in converting ball possessions into points.

Joel is a future superstar and has the ability to take his team to playoffs soon. He has the spirit to compete and can go for any challenge blocking his way to success.
