Oh What A Night!
His 33 points 10 rebounds 3 blocks 2 steals 1 assist performance in the one-point win against the Brooklyn Nets was the best of his novice career, but he continues to improve each week. From his two game October 2016, he has shown steady improvement. His scoring has increased by 1.7 points per game, rebounds increased 2.3 per game, assists 2.0 per game, blocks .7 per game, and steals .5 per game.
Joel Embiid's line: 33 pts (12-17, 2-3 3PT, 7-8 FT), 10 REB, 2 STL, 3 BLK, 1 AST. Pretty freaking good.

At his current pace, he will have started in approximately 60 games. With his rate of improvement, by season’s end, he will be scoring at a pace of 25 points per game, rebounding at 12 rebounds per game, blocking 4.6 shots per game, steal 2.0 per game, and handing out 4.5 assists per game.
And that is at the end of season one.
There is a reason why Nerlens Noel is so very frustrated right now. Joel Embiid is taking the Philadelphia 76ers, and the entire NBA, by storm.
