Nice.
Nikola Jokic:
- 5.5 post-up possessions per game
- 1.16 points per possession
- 25.2% of offense
Joel Embiid:
- 4.8 post-up possessions per game
- 1.19 points per possession
- 15.8% of offense
Jokic shoots a higher eFG% while Embiid relies more on free throws.
BONUS:
Kristaps Porzingis:
- 3.5 post-up possessions per game
- 1.14 points per possession
- 17% of offense

Water is wet.
If either get rings you are looking at top 5 centers of all time

Luka is better than both of them.

Lebron could do that too, it’s just not necessary so he chooses not to.

Nikola is doing some of the best post-up numbers ever. #1 in attempts.

not surprising since the league doesn't have the large centers to defend the post anymore

There are like 10 mvp centers with rings already. Top 5 is a hard list to crack for centers. You could argue Hakeem is both top 10 all time and only the 5th best center.

What's eFG%?

What's eFG%?
Effective field goal percentage. It accounts for three-point shooting but doesn't include free throws. Kind of pointless for post-ups - it's basically just regular field goal percentage here.

Yeah no doubt a hard list to get on to.
But say in three years Joker stays at this level putting up these numbers while winning a couple championships, wouldn't it be feasible to say he is on Wilt's level?

Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Philadelphia 76ers stars Joel Embiid (calf) and James Harden (Achilles) are returning to the lineup vs. the Dallas (https://*********.com/social/) Mavericks (ESPN, 7:30 PM). Both tested injuries on court pregame and are good to go.
