Sixers news: Joel Embiid has scored 63 more points than Greg Oden in 62 less games

Sixers center Joel Embiid may be the player that former Blazers top pick Greg Oden could have become in terms of dominance.

Building off his promising rookie campaign, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has continued to show much reason for the glowing praise regarding his play on the court.

According to Danacarvey on Redditt, Embiid has scored 63 more points than former Portland Trail Blazers big man Greg Oden despite playing 62 fewer games.

Granted, Greg Oden's career's was marred by injuries that effectively limited his playing time with the Blazers, but it's still quite an impressive feat given that Embiid has played only 43 games in his career.

This was further fueled by what was deemed as the best performance of his young NBA life during Wednesday night's 115-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, where he flirted with a quadruple-double, tallying a career-high 46 points along with 15 rebounds, seven assists, and seven blocks.

Joel Embiid has proven to be the complete package on both ends of the floor. He has a wide variety of offensive ability thanks to a plethora of moves in the low post, but he can also take it out to beyond the 3-point line. While on the other end of the floor, Embiid is an elite defender at the rim and has the ability to guard multiple positions despite being 7-foot-3 and 280 pounds.

If he is able to remain relatively healthy, the sky is certainly the limit for Embiid as he becomes, possibly, one of best big men the league has seen in quite some time.
