Sixers star Joel Embiid has a message for himself after win over Bulls
Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has a message for himself after the team's win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid delivered a strong performance in the team's recent victory over the Chicago Bulls, tallying 18 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Despite his solid stat line, Embiid felt something was amiss as he shot just 7-for-19 and missed both of his three-point attempts. The 7-footer's journey to becoming one of the league's premier players continues with several areas for improvement.
Embiid admitted that he needs to find his rhythm on offense and get back to his dominant self. He explained that he hasn't been the Joel Embiid that the Sixers will need to reappear as they move forward. Embiid is aware of the need to work on getting shots up from the initial attempt, rather than relying on his second chance. He acknowledged that his recent slow starts could be attributed to recovery from various injuries, but the team desperately needs him to find his groove.
Embiid's all-around skills, which allow him to score from anywhere on the court, could unlock a lot of doors for the Philadelphia team, making him a critical component for their contender status.
