NBA 2018-19: The top 10 international players 

#2 Joel Embiid

Philadelphia 76ers v Boston Celtics - Game Five

As long as we're considering Anthony Davis as a power forward (even though he's likely to be the Pelicans' default starting center this season), the notion of Embiid being the game's best two-way center should be counted as quite valid.

There's a lot to like about Embiid's game. He has the whole package on offense, thriving the most in the traditional sense from the low post region, but with the ability to stretch defenses out to the 3-point line. He's an adequate playmaker, devastating rim-runner, a willing screener and one of the best pick-and-pop roll men in the league.

After a healthy offseason for the first time in 4 years, Embiid has the chance to climb up the echelons of the NBA's elite. The Sixers are well and truly back to days of success, and Embiid is the one providing the biggest impetus to this movement. TRUST. THE. PROCESS.
