And Marcus is the best defender of the group!!!
Embiid may have something to say about that.  May need to scroll right to see Embiid on the chart.

Is that measuring blocks?
It shows blocks per 36 versus opponent's FG% at the rim.  So not only is Embiid getting a lot of blocks but he's also defending the rim very well.  That doesn't necessarily go hand in hand.  You can see Turner and O'Quinn block at the same rate as Gobert but they allow opponents to shoot nearly 10% better at the rim.  Surprisingly, Brooks Lopez looks really good on this comparison.
