NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

We could talk about basketball with the Philadelphia 76ers or we could talk about all the cool and awesome things Joel Embiid has done this year. I think we’d all be better served by hearing more about the latter than the former. We can now add to that never ending list that he has “Trust The Process” embroidered into all his sneakers. Embiid has fully accepted the role of Sam Hinkie’s beacon of hope full on now that he’s back on the floor. From what we’ve seen there it’s hard to fault everything that Hinkie did during his time as the Sixers General manager. For all the forced losing and lack of NBA-caliber players it looks like Hinkie was able to deliver a true franchise player for the team. After all wasn’t that the whole point of “The Process”? Embiid poured in a career-high 33 points against the Brooklyn Nets and continues to look the part of franchise player the deeper we get into the year. Unless the turtleneck wearing Ben Simmons comes back and sets the league on fire with his 6-foot-10 point guard skills, it looks like Embiid has the Rookie of the Year race wrapped up already.. 7-21. .
