Him shooting more means more contested shots out of doubles in the post, and is a more easy play to double. His efficiency would drop fast
His shot falling is what allows him to get to the line so easily, so is a double no-no.
He's already rellying on an amount of shooting that could come down to earth at any moment, i don't see how this is a benefit.

Nah..
I think his shooting is real.
His FT% should say he always has the upside to be this good of a shooter.
It’s just he’s not been asked to play like this with a close minded mindset of just wanting him to be shaq 2.0
In the playoffs during crunch time, you wont be able to be a go to guy being shaq 2.0. The last thing you want is having the at the mercy of the refs.
Remember after the Celts series, he said something like.. he should not post up that much. I think at that point he realized it.
And what i love in sports is realizing a mistake and finding ways to deal with it.

You did not adress my point. Him shooting more makes more easy to double him at the post.......
And doubling him at the post is still the best option for defenses because Joe is bad at passing off double teams, even if he has marginally improved in that area.
By shooting more you're just giving defenses the play they prefer.
To no mention that if you can finish around the basket, shooting more midranges makes no sense statiscally speaking
), if you decide to sag off him.

Cool article about the work Embiid put in this past short offseason.

This was my response to the video:
Sorry this is a tired argument, and a lot of rehashed videos from years past. Embiid has improved massively as a passer this year. He still has a few boneheaded plays, but by in large it is night and day from previous years. Also, the sixers are 14-0 with their starting lineup, and we see how they play when one of Embiid or Simmons sits. They need each other, and historically this team wins with both of them playing. Maybe next time try and create a video that doesn't bring up lazy media narratives. At the very least use videos only from this season as opposed to from his entire career. You try to bring it all together in the end by mentioning how Morey improved the roster, but failed to mention that Curry is having a historic year, Simmons is playing like a DPOY again (and Embiid to boot), minimizing the massive improve of Tobias Harris (who is playing like an allstar and averaging the most points, the most efficiently in his career). You even contradict yourself when you mention Simmons/Embiid's fit, and then bring up a quote from more where he says that lineups with thousands of minutes in the NBA show that a lineup with Simmons and Embiid is the best or one of the best in the NBA. Then, you go ahead and say trade one of them. LOL! Do better Ringer...
