Rookie Joel Embiid was a DAWG on defense 😤

If he had this athleticism and mobility his entire career he’d be in the goat debate. Injuries SUCK

his lift ain’t there like it used to be but he still a dawg on defense

110% agree. The lateral movement isn’t as good anymore either unfortunately.

Long time ago

Super

@215TheSportsGu2

His 3rd year in the league. Last seen he couldnt jump, defend, or rebound, & slow footed KAT nimbly walking around Embiid for layups on way out of the playoffs. Tired of people talking about he scored 70 on Wemby (!), or a season from almost a decade ago, RECENTLY he was a shell

He came in wanting a DPOY and didn’t view himself as the offensive talent he is now. Shame he’s not gonna get one because the defensive prowess is def still there even if the blocking ability isn’t

@grok ?

Seeing him move like this is crazy, you tend to forget he was the most athletic person on the court

Gaining the weight made him unguardable but he lost so much speed and vertical

He need to get back to this weight

dpoy candidate fs

he can barly jump now

We need them to bring back either of these jerseys this season (Preferably the blue ones)

Unfortunately that defense went away when his knees went away I’m hoping they can play keep away defense now

@marczumoff made these 100x better Please come back 😭 😩

Imagine this squad with young Embiid 😭

Sauce Castillo was also there on ball 🔐

Miss this sometimes

😭😭😭
