re: Would you rather Joel Embiid or Karl A. Towns?

Then who is holding his massive arse to 47% career shooting?

I wonder how much of this has to do with shot selection. He's averaging 0.5 3PA per game less than last season, but he's shooting 27% this year compared to last year's 37%. The thing with Embiid is post-ups are a big part of his game, but those shots are some of the least efficient in basketball. That hurts KAT too because Thibs loves post-ups. KAT is probably the better rounded offensive scorer without looking at the numbers, but where KAT is a liability on defense, Embiid is one of best at his position defensively.
