No, it's not and Shaq is in my top 5 :francis:

Embiid can hit FT's and has range to the 3 PT line...

Embiid has better fluidity, footwork, and a wider array of post moves copied straight from the Dream...

In terms of handles Embiid is probably better in the half court, he crosses guys up...

Embiid is a more versatile defender he has good hands to come up with steals, is a better shot blocker, can switch onto wings in the perimeter...

Shaq was stronger and more athletic he was 7'1 325 lb. please don't downplay that. He had a post game that had a good combination of power and finesse, and he could dribble up the floor in his younger days.

He had no game outside the paint awful, slow form on his jumper and FT's. In his era he couldn't handle and post like Dream, shoot like Ewing, or pass like D-Rob. If we're talking pure "skills" there are many bigs more talented than Shaq but none other than probably Wilt are as athletic and powerful, or played with a dominant bully mean streak mentality like him.

Like Bill Parcells said: a players best ability is availability. Wake me when Embiid plays a full 82
