Jokic vs. Embiid: Who's the better scorer?

Title.

[1987_Lakers]

Embiid is the better scorer. Jokic is the better offensive player overall because of his GOAT passing skills.

[Im Still Ballin]

Is he though? Jokic can score if he wants to. He's more efficient and routinely turns it up in the playoffs.

Is that why he let CJ McCollum outplay him in a crucial game 7 at home?

[Mask the Embiid]

The only think jokic does better than embiid is pass. Embiid is literally better than him at everything else…. Shooting,3’s, fts, posting up, post defense, perimeter defense, shot blocking, steals, overall defense,clutch shooting, clutch defense,setting screens, defending screens, faster, stronger, jumps higher, conditioning,taller ect

Embiid is better at getting to the foul line. He is actually scoring 10 ppg from the line.

Jokic is better from the field. His EFG% is 9% better than Embiid.

Embiid lives at the line. I'm sorry but that's not exciting, watching the biggest dude on the court on the floor half the game. Which isn't to say jokic doesn't flop, he does but he's not diving on the floor like a soccer player.

Jokic is better at everything

Embiid is a joke and nobody takes him seriously.

Jokic is an all time great offensive player.

Just stick with the “embiid is better at defense” angle.

[hold this L]

The only thing Embiid is better than Joker offensively at is getting at the FT line. I'm shocked how efficient Joker has been the last 3-4 seasons.

There's a big reason joker became b2b mvp the last two seasons.

Embiid for points

[Mask the Embiid]

Notice how no one just flats out comes out and says “jokic is the better scorer”….they can’t even trollingly say it with a straight face because they know it’s not even a believable lie.

[Full Court]

Embiid. But take away his 20,000 free throws a game from flopping, and it's probably Jokic.

Hell I’ll say it. Doesn’t mean much though.

I’ll take the better offensive player and just better player overall

[Im Still Ballin]

Let's look at the career shooting percentages from distance:

0-3ft
Jokic: 71.2%
Embiid: 73.3%

3-10ft
Jokic: 56.6%
Embiid: 41.9%

10-16ft
Jokic: 49.7%
Embiid: 42.7%

16ft to 3pt
Jokic: 47%
Embiid: 42.6%

3PT
Jokic: 34.5%
Embiid 33.8%

[Im Still Ballin]

The one that really sticks out is the 3-10ft. Jokic has a superior paint-finishing package. Floaters, push shots, jump-hooks, etc. Just a softer touch -- and Embiid has got a soft touch too.
