Oklahoma City Thunder v Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid

2017 NBA rookie of the year runner-up and NBA all-rookie team selection, Joel Embiid surprised one and all with his game after being sidelined for two seasons due to injury.

But again his season was cut short by injury and could only play 31 games where he averaged a mind-blowing 20.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 2.1 APG & 2.5 BPG. If we could pencil him in for more than 70 games, he'd be in the first-round conversation.

He proved more than capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor, and his defensive stats are nothing short of elite. The games/minutes ceiling might not be as high as for other early-round picks, but as this Philadelphia roster improves, Embiid's star is going to grow.

Invest with confidence here, as we are betting against this being the least efficient offense again this season.
