Sixers star Joel Embiid ranked 10th in early fantasy basketball rankings
Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is one of the top players in the game regardless of position. The way he dominates a game on either end of the floor is very impressive. He can throw the Sixers on his back at any moment to get them a victory.
He led the league in scoring in the 2021-22 season, 30.6 points per game, and he pulled down 11.7 rebounds with 4.2 assists. He also shot 49.9% from the floor and 37.1% from deep while being double-teamed every game and being the focus of opposing defenses every single night.
This makes Embiid a fantasy basketball commodity. The big fella comes in ranked 10th in nba.com’s early fantasy basketball rankings:
Embiid has been a top-five player in per-game value in each of the last two seasons, but were his 68 games played in 2021-22 the best-case scenario?
Availability is always a big concern with Embiid. When it comes to fantasy basketball, can a fantasy player count on him on a nightly basis? That’s something he will have to prove before he can move up in the rankings for the future.
