My analysis

This playoffs settled a lot of things. The above stats are the difference between an underachieving talented young center and an overachieving superstar center. The difference in advanced stats is particularly massive, but it's worth nothing that Jokic has Embiid beat in everything but blocks.

Embiid shoots very poorly for a big man and only plays 30 minutes a game. The conclusion remains the same: Embiid needs to learn a proper post game, play more bully ball back to basket, instead of camping at the 3 point line.
