POLL Joel Embiid or Anthony Davis?

1 game?

Embiid probably is the best center since Shaq. But Anthony Davis, whatever you want to classify him as is a better player right now.

But he wasnt against Embid. My buddy and I watched the game and both of us were surprised at how lopsided the matchup was. Embid owned him on the blocks. To big, to strong. People can chalk it up to being only one game or Davis having a bad night (6-19 shooting), but it was the size difference and the ease that Embid had on him that was shocking to me. Cant wait to see more matchups between them.

Davis isn't a center. Embiid is.

Picked Davis. Better defender, better shooter, more athletic. Has more moves, can match up against strength and athleticism. Can guard small fast PG by closing in with his own athleticism. AD all the way.

Davis, and it isn't close.
