Joker on Bucks would win the championship, easy day, that team is solid, veteran talent, and versatile. It's filled with shooters and secondary playmakers, with Joker initiating the offense it would be a championship favorite. Embiid on the Nuggets (still with their injuries) yeah I think they would be about the same still. Embiid on the Bucks is also winning the chip. And this is the sticking point for Giannis, Giannis on the Nuggets, might not be a playoff team at all. Giannis on the 76ers is a playoff team, but not as good. And really clutch wise for Giannis, he just isn't as skilled as either Joker or Embiid and that hurts his real value.
TL;DR:
Offense/Defense/V-V
Embiid - 2/1/1
Giannis - 3/1/3
Joker - 1/3/1
I'm tying Embiid and Giannis on Def and Embiid and Joker on Value/Versatility.
Ratings wise I think it's a hard tie between Joker and Embiid, but I will say after giving it a lot of thought. I think I'd like to see Embiid win MVP, carrying the Sixers drama has not been easy, I'd argue he created some of that burden himself, but he definitely seems a bit more mature and not a grating teenager this year.
