At 26 years old, who performs better compared to Embiid or Howard?

Embiid is one of the best centers on the roster, and his physical gifts are undeniable as the 2014 rookie. At first, he was questioned because of his big mouth, but after landing in the league, Embiid did cash in on his talent. In just two seasons, Embiid became the league's All-Star center and led the 76ers to the playoffs.

He has an innate leadership temperament, and at 26 years old, he can be said to have a bright future. So how did the two score at the age of 26 compared to their predecessor Howard, who also performed well defensively? The gap is bigger than you think.

The Great's attendance was low, and he fell to the third overall pick due to an injury before the draft. After entering the league, it took 2 years of recuperation before stepping on the field. He played 31 games in his rookie year, 63 in his second year, 64 in his third year, and just 44 more this season.

Although it has been 6 years since the 14th draft, Embiid has actually only played 202 games, which is a very few. In contrast, Howard is a complete iron man, he entered the NBA at the age of 18 and only missed 3 games in the first 6 years of his career, so at the same age of 26, Warcraft has played a full 621 games.

Embiid didn't officially play until he was 22 years old, and he was the team boss as soon as he debuted, so he was more mature and had more balls. So far in his career, Embiid has accumulated 4,864 points, an average of points per game, and the shooting percentage is 49 points in a single game, which is a very good performance. At the age of 26, Howard scored 11,435 points per game, shooting from the field and scoring a high of 45 points per game.

In comparison, Embiid's total score is less than half of Howard's, and the gap is relatively large.

On the playoff stage, Embiid's performance was not bad, after all, he led the team to the playoffs in the second year of his career. Embiid has played in the playoffs a total of 2 times, and both times have reached the second round. He scored a total of 393 points, averaging points per game, shooting percentage, and the highest point in a single game was 33 points.

Howard had already led the team to five playoff games at the time, and the Magic were also recognized as a powerhouse in the East. At the age of 26, he scored a total of 1,133 points in the playoffs, averaging points per game, shooting 60% from the field, and the highest score in a single game reached 46 points.

Overall, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, Embiid's advantage is scoring per game, and his ability to score points is not inferior to Howard. However, in terms of total points, Embiid did not even reach half of Howard's, and the gap in shooting percentage was even greater. At the age of 26, Embiid only has the honor of two teams + two defenses, and Howard at the same time has already won the rebounding king, block king, dpoy, one team, one defense, and led the team to the finals with a single core.

I have to say that such a gap is bigger than imagined.

Howard is doing even better, and the 26-year-old Howard has already won three DPOs and multiple rebounding titles.

Aside from scoring, Howard is a few notches worse than Embiid in every other aspect.

At the same age of 26, Howard's achievements are much higher. Before the age of 26, he was not only selected to the All-Star team 6 times, but also won 4 rebounding titles, 2 block titles, and was elected the best defensive player for 3 consecutive years during the 09-11 period. In addition, Howard has 5 best first team + 4 best first defense honors in hand.

In 2009, Howard led the team to the finals single-core.

Howard, the monster of the year, was the existence of a single replacement for peak James, and was recognized as a super center. Today's Embiid can't even replace the 35-year-old James, so it can only be said that there is no harm if there is no comparison.

Howard was 36 years old.

On December 8th, Warcraft Howard celebrated his 36th birthday, and sometimes it's hard to believe that this muscular guy is 36 years old just by the senses of sight. In 2004, Howard debuted, Howard used to be able to replace James alone, but now Howard's situation is embarrassing, after all, in the Lakers, he has no chance to replace James alone.

In his 18-year career, why does Howard still hold on? The answer given by some fans is love, but Howard's persistence may not be just because of love.

Howard Profile:

Dwight Howard, whose full name is Dwight David Howard II, was born on December 8, 1985 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, an American professional basketball player, playing as a center, once known as the NBA's active No. 1 center, playing for the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards of Taiwan's T1 League. Dwight Howard was selected by the Orlando Magic in the 2004 NBA Draft with the No. 1 pick in the first round.

He played for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers, and was named to the NBA All-Star Team eight times in 2007-14, the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in 2008, and the NBA Defensive Player of the Year three times in a row in 2009-11, and the NBA All-Star Team eight times (five first-team, one second-team, and two third-team selections).

He was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team 5 times (4 times, 1 team), 5 times NBA rebounding champion, 2 consecutive NBA block champions in 2009-10, and won the NBA championship with the Lakers in 2019-20. In November 2022, Dwight Howard joined the Taoyuan Clouded Leopards of the Taiwan T1 League.

It's all good, Howard's offense at his peak is not as comprehensive as Embiid's, but the interior defense and rebounding are unique in the world, the fundamental guarantee of "one star and four shots", and the three-time DPOY can limit James's breakthrough can be seen. Embiid is good offensively and defensively, inheriting the mantle of the big dream and also being a defensive gate, which has a qualitative improvement for the 76ers, but there are potential injuries. In short, both are cornerstone stars.

The 26-year-old Howard is stronger because he is more physically gifted, and at a young age, there are few interior players who can guard him.

Howard, at that time, he was very capable, very dominant under the basket, and could often decide the victory of the game alone, and his strength was very strong.

Compare the numbers, it's Howard who is stronger, he has a very good record, and he is more explosive in basketball.

The 24-year-old Embiid has shown great talent, and despite being plagued by injuries in the first three seasons of his career, the Emperor who has returned from injury has played flawlessly, and many fans believe that he is the number one center in the league today, and even fancy him to develop into a dominant center. The previous No. 1 center title belonged to Cousins and Howard, so how did it compare with Cousins and Howard in the same period?

The 24-year-old Embiid has played in 63 games this season, averaging 11 rebounds, assists and blocks per game, and has performed well on both ends of the floor. And he is also the perfect team leader, leading the team to a third-place record in the East and a successful second round in the playoffs. With his outstanding performance, Embiid was not only selected as an All-Star starter, but also selected for the All-Defensive Second Team and the All-Defensive Second Team, and is indeed a strong candidate for the first center.

Cousins also performed very well at the age of 24, averaging points, rebounds and assists per game that season, and his offensive performance was no less than Embiid's, and his fitness level was better than that of his contemporaries. However, my cousin's team performance is poor, the team missed the playoffs in the first few years of her career, and her defensive performance is far inferior to Embiid, so she can't be considered a good team leader.

In contrast, the 24-year-old Howard is a different level of existence. As a high school player, Howard had already played in the league for five seasons at the age of 24, and he became a super center after Yao Shark, averaging a terrifying number of rebounds and blocks per game. Howard won that year's block king, rebounding champion and Defensive Player of the Year honors, and was named to the two-team and All-Star teams without any suspense.

And on the playoff stage, the Magic defeated the 76ers, the Celtics and the Cavaliers to reach the Finals, and despite losing to the Lakers, Howard's performance was perfect.

The 24-year-old Cousins is an All-Star-caliber center, but his defensive and leading abilities are slightly worse. The 24-year-old is clearly better than Cousins at the same time, dominating on both ends of the floor, and could be a top superstar in the league if no injuries have affected him. And the 24-year-old Howard is already recognized as a superstar, not only with perfect personal data, but also with amazing results in leading the team, whether it is talent, ability or honor, the 24-year-old Howard deserves the title of "Warcraft".

Overall, Howard's stats are better, Howard is very capable individually, has good physical qualities, can often bring unexpected results to the team's offense and defense, and is very good at rebounding.

There is a difference in scoring, Embiid averages 24 points per game, Howard's is 28, obviously Howard is better, he was at the peak at the time, and he blew up a lot of interior lines.

The gap between them is still very large, with Howard's bounce ability being stronger than Embiid and Cousins, and Howard's defense is also very strong.

Yes, Embiid became an All-Star player at this time and was very strong, Cousins became the league's No. 1 center at this time and dominated the league, and Howard reached the Western Conference Finals and was also the No. 1 center.

Howard was a little better, not only winning the block title that year, but also the rebounding champion and the best defensive player, while Cousins and Embiid were not much different, but Embiid led the team to a better record.

Although they are the same age, the gap in their strength is very large, and their skills are different, because everyone has different ability to understand things, so their gap is very large.

Howard has performed even better, at the same age of 26, Howard has won multiple rebounding titles and is excellent in all aspects.

Howard is doing better because the 26-year-old Howard has already won the DPOY and won the rebounding title many times.

Howard was even better, and although he trailed Embiid in scoring, he won a couple of DPOs and rebounding titles.

The players in the league are constantly being updated, and these new generations of players hide superstars who can change the era of the league, and the environment of the league is also creating the style of players in different periods, such as the current league in the small ball era, the brutalist center like O'Neal is not very popular, and this type of player is also decreasing. But the center position is still very important, Embiid and Howard are both good center players, and the difference between their 26-year-old scoring statistics is unexpected!

Howard. <>

He was a dangerous center player in the league, and his blocks, rebounds, and defense were almost unwanted to play against Howard in his prime. The first half of his career can be described as brilliant, with eight consecutive All-Star selections, five All-Defensive Team selections, four All-Defensive Player selections, three-time All-Defensive Player selection, five-time rebounding titles, and two-time block winners.

At the age of 26, Howard has already begun his prime, at this age he has already won one team and one defense, rebounding and blocking titles, and has accumulated 1,133 points in the playoffs. At this time, Howard's career total points had also exceeded the 10,000-point mark, and his scoring ability was very strong among centers at the time.

Embiid. <>

Let's talk about Embiid, Howard was only nineteen years old when he entered the league draft, and Embiid officially started his career at the age of 22, his cumulative points in the regular season and the playoffs are far less than Howard's, but his highest single-game point in the regular season is 49 points, while Howard only has 45 points, except for this other data, Howard is not comparable to Howard.

Howard shot 60 percent from the field in the playoffs, while Embiid could only reach it, and in the regular season Embiid couldn't shoot as much as Howard. But Howard is already history, Embiid still has a good future, let's look forward to a better Embiid together!

Of course, Howard's scoring ability is stronger, because Howard's finishing ability under the basket is very strong and unstoppable.

Embiid's scoring ability is stronger because Embiid's skills are more comprehensive, he can play hard under the basket and shoot from the outside, which is more comprehensive than Howard.

At the same age of twenty-six, Embiid's scoring strength is stronger than Howard's, because Howard's offensive means are pitiful, and Embiid has scoring ability both inside and outside.
