Joel Embiid 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will look to cement himself this season as a superstar in fantasy terms. We know Embiid is always a gamble no matter where you pick him in your draft because of injury issues. Embiid had a relatively healthy season playing 63 games in the 2017-18 season and will hope to play at least that amount in the upcoming season pending any major injuries. If he can play a minimum of 70 games this season and can produce similar numbers to last season, we can see an end-of-season top-10 ranking for the big man. He could still be viewed as a possible risk if you are looking to take him in the first round, but if for any reason he is still on the draft board come the second round, it is pretty much a no-brainer to snag the versatile big man there for his huge upside.
