For starters, it would be quite a show seeing a Joel Embiid and LeBron James faceoff. Starting from the playground style of choosing teams till the actual game this face-off will keep the adrenaline high.

Over the last season, Embiid ranked third in points per play and that is a really big deal considering how much his turnover rate was. If he stopped dropping the rock just as often it would make him an ideal player and captain.

At the end of the day, an easy way to think about Embiid is a person who is an amazing player who has some correctable flaws. He may have started late and is inexperienced but putting him as a leader on a large platform with so many stars may make him a better player, faster. He was second in the voting tallies last year, so there is no stopping him from being the top seed this year, especially with LeBron on the other side.
