#3 Joel Embiid - 90
Joel 'The Process' Embiid is the best two-way center in the league, bar none. If his rookie 2016-17 season was a foreboding sign of things to come from him, he made sure the following season that everyone would sit up and take notice of the humongously talented player that he is, a proper unicorn in every sense of the word.
Embiid is a monster from the low-post, bringing joy back to old-school basketball fans who feast on such play. In addition, he has 3-point range (if only a bit inefficiently), can pass well out of double teams, sets mean picks and can take on his opponents off the dribble as well as just a pure shooter.
