Joel Embiid is paid like the 2nd-highest cap hit tracked but ranks 130th of 178 in modeled production — is the money buying something the model can't see, or is this a genuine misprice?

Joel Embiid carries a $55.2M cap hit (2nd of 178 tracked) against $8.8M of modeled production (130th of 178) — a 128-spot gap between what he's paid and what he produces.

That reads as the price outrunning the box score, and rank alone can't separate a real overpay from context the model doesn't track — shot-creation gravity, defensive value the counting stats miss, locker-room command.

Compare Joel Embiid's on/off-court impact and role against the players immediately around him in cap rank, and clip whichever comps make the gap look earned or unearned.
