Nikola Jokic over Joel Embiid? Advanced stats over regular stats?

Nikola may have the best-advanced stats in the game, however, is it truly okay to choose those over the scoring title winner? The league’s first center to win the scoring title, in fact.

Embiid’s name was among the first to be shouted out and the Cameroonian has been in terrific form. To add to it, his team’s record is far better.

The regular-season numbers that Joel Embiid put up are insane.
