His instincts and timing in order to get a blocked shot are impeccable and that allows the Sixers to be one of the better defensive teams in the league.Even in the pick-and-roll game, coach Doc Rivers is able to use Embiid up more...…Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is putting up big numbers on the offensive end of the floor and there is no denying that, but he is not just a one-way player.
