Joel Embiid Jokes About Playing Point Guard Later In Career 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jan 5, 2017 1:10 am

Joel Embiid raved about playing alongside Nerlens Noel following the Philadelphia 76ers' win on Tuesday over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Embiid also joked about changing positions later in his career.


"I've always thought that I'm a guard," Embiid said, via CSN Philly, "so having him rolling to the basket, because he's so athletic, he can catch lobs, and me just playing on the perimeter or posting up and just handling the ball -- by the end of my career, I want to be a point guard, so that was good."


Embiid is averaging 3.7 turnovers and 1.9 assists per game, though he does have a shooting percentage of 38.6 from the three-point line.
