5 Reasons why Joel Embiid is a true unicorn

#2 His playmaking ability

Embiid is an underrated passer

One of the most underrated skills in Embiid's game is his ability to make plays for his teammates. The Philadelphia 76ers have a plethora of playmaking talent with the likes of Ben Simmons, TJ McConnell, JJ Reddick and Dario Saric all being adept at distributing the ball.

Even around the league, players like Nikola Jokić and DeMarcus Cousins are much more noticeable with their high assist numbers. While they certainly do average a high number of assists, Embiid's 3.3 assists per game rank sixth in the league among Centers.

Most of Embiid's assists come when he is double-teamed in the post area. The 24-year-old has amazing court vision and can capitalise on these double teams by making the right pass to an open man.
