Joel Embiid: 3 bold predictions for Sixers star in 2022-23 NBA season

Joel Embiid is expected to be an All-Star for the sixth straight season. He won the scoring title last season and is considered one of the best players in his position. The Philadelphia 76ers are looking for a championship this season, but their focus is on winning the NBA title.

Joel Embiid is one of the most unstoppable players in the NBA. He scored 50 points in 27 minutes last year against the Orlando Magic. This season he has more playmaking support around him. He is not a great playmaker, but he doesn't need a lot of help to score 60 points. The playmakers around Embigid are not too good outside of James Harden.

Joel Embiid has been shooting well from the 3-point line for the last two seasons. He's not a Karl-Anthony Towns-like player, but he can improve his efficiency. He could reach 40 percent from 3 this season if Tyrese Maxey takes more of a role as a creator and Harden looks better.

Joel Embiid is a candidate for the MVP award. He finished second to Jokic two seasons ago. The Sixers have a chance to be the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The team will have to compete for top spots against the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets. They will also have the chance against Cleveland Cavaliers. If the team wins and stays healthy, Embid will win the award for MVP.
