Will he stay healthy?

Joel Embiid is still yet to play a full NBA season, and yet some people consider him the best player in the East. Personally, I believe he is the 3rd best behind Kawhi Leonard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Nonetheless, he is the second best center in the league.

He's the first player on this list that has an incredible two-way style of play, which is very valuable in the league today. He made his first All-Star appearance this year after posting season averages of 22.9 points, 11 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game. His personality sometimes may overshadow his dominance. He is an incredible player who can be an MVP candidate as well as a defensive player of the year candidate for years to come.
