His early development brought him to the United States, where his physical tools — the 7-foot frame, the footwork, the hands — drew the attention of college programs and NBA scouts who could see the raw material even when the technical polish was still being applied. He played one season at the University of Kansas under coach Bill Self, and the Philadelphia 76ers selected him #3 overall in the 2014 NBA Draft — beginning what became one of the most celebrated development stories in modern professional basketball.

His ascent to multiple scoring championships and All-Star selections followed rapidly, and his 2022-23 season produced the NBA Most Valuable Player Award — the recognition from the voting body that Embiid's production and his complete impact on the game had placed him at the top of the individual player hierarchy.
