Who's better right now - Embiid or Towns? I think most would acknowledge Embiid has more potential, but I'm talking about right now who's better. Embiid is in the running for DPOY, and KAT's defense has been quite poor, although I'm pretty sure it's been good since Joel called his D trash. Offensively I think Towns is better, a more versatile scorer and playmaker. Much more efficient all over the floor. Also I would give rebounding to Towns aswell. So far this year I'm taking Towns by a little bit.
