Embiid and Simmons have a long way to go. Or why you don't want to start rookies in any sport.
Embiid was forcing things in the paint instead of quickly passing out of the double team and resetting, and he's a bit out of control on defense, going for blocks at the expense of rebounding position.
Simmons doesn't have a shot that anyone respects and was too tentative down the stretch.
I always know this team is trouble when they're not passing the ball around the perimeter and setting up either an open 3 or penetration with a dishout if contested. When they're clicking the ball doesn't stick to anyone's hands.
Trust the Process. You can see how good they're going to be in a couple months.
BB is having to teach a lot of moving pieces how to play defense together.
When it clicks, it'll be awesome.
But right now, like the Flyers and Phillies next year, it's growing pains.
