They both kinda have that same weakness against deep pull up shooters - Embiid a far more effective rim deterrent I think but Jokic has great hands/feet/instincts that make him maybe a bit less vulnerable when pulled out of the paint.
One huge advantage that Jokic has over Embiid that’s generally unsaid is his motor. I’ve seen Embiid worn out in second halves his entire career. Jokic often looked like the freshest guy on the floor during the end of playoff games last year.
Great point - also Jokic's conditioning is elite, especially for a guy who doesn't look like much of an athlete
