As someone that’s closely watched both in their primes , boogie really paved the way for the jokic’s and embiid’s of the world. Came into the league in a post up double big era and developed the shot and playmaking chops. Glad boogie getting his flowers now
Who else recalls Jo and Demarcus playing slap ass in Sactown?
Based on this screenshot I would take boogie lol. Much better 3pt%, way more rebounds, twice as many steals, and more games played
gotta get that 3% up to 30 and we will be set
And Embiid is actually winning games. Sacramento never did that
And yet Cousins was always a loser. One playoff series.
I’m not sure what to do with this information.
it took a sec to realize these are per 36 stats. i was like there is no way embiid is averaging 29 ppg currently lol

Embiid plays in half the games
And Embiid is a significantly better defender.
