WE wanted to open things off by illustrating that Joel Embiid is both a force on the court and a personality off the court.
The data used in this word cloud was collected from multiple news articles dedicated to other professional basketball players and hall of famer's singing the praises of Joel Embiid. These words were collected when asked to describe Joel embiid in one word.
In this set of visualizations we will walk you through what exactly makes The Philadelphia 76'ers star center such an unstoppable force.
The first set of data we are going to examine is the 3pt shot percentage of Embiid vs that of the league average. While the game is currently stretching out it is still fairly uncommon for a center to make such a large impact from beyond the arc.
In this next visualization we take a deep dive in to who exactly are the players making up that league average and comparing them to Embiid
We mentioned previously that the game is being stretched out. In our next visualization you'll be able to clearly pick out who the elite centers in the league are and what roll they play on a team. While Embiid's style may be great for the 76'ers it could be detrimental to a different system who requires a big man to play more traditionally. We can exam that here.
