Anthony Davis is languishing in New Orleans, but at least Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers pitted The Brow against The Process. That is, Joel Embiid.
When the two multi-talented big men met on the floor in New Orleans, Embiid got the better of Davis on at least one play.
With the ball on the left wing, Davis was able to get a step on Ersan Ilyasova out of the triple-threat position. As Davis dribbled toward an open lane, Embiid slid over to add some extra protection:
Great timing and court feel from Embiid, who has looked like a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.
