Youth/development-wise, there is.

I think so....especially Simmons' stat filled performanceI know the final score, worth watching on DVR?
YupI know the final score, worth watching on DVR?
Embiid and Simmons are genuinely special. That game really did a nice job taking the aftertaste of the Flyers out of my mouth.
I am still concerned about Fultz even after the 2nd half of that game. Need to see that for several full games, then we'll talk. Also, hey, Landry Shamet played 29 minutes in only his 2nd NBA game.
Agreed. I liked the pick when we got him. I think Brown did a nice job evaluating his worth for NBA play. We'll see but he is looking pretty goodI think Shamet will be making a meaninful contribution before the season is over. Looks very comfortable and plays within himself.
*sigh*
Microwave Generation. Nowhere is it worse than in ball where a 22 yr old and his 24 yr old counterpart each with barely 100 games played are supposed to be winning titles and burning villages to the ground.
Fultz looked ok. He's a 20 yr old guard and 20 yr old guards tend to be inefficient and inconsistent. Who he is in 9 months will give us a better conception of his future.
When Covington plays like that this team can go with anyone.
Amir has got to play better defense. That's all he's in there for.
Shamet looked good.
No more Jo trailer 3's. Give those attempts to Dario. No more Dario midrange 2's. Give those to Jo.
and For the Love of God please no more JJ + TJ lineups. The combination made my eyes bleed.
His layup attempts are so cringeworthy ...I mean the attempts still look so G leagueWhen Covington looks good he looks really good. When he looks bad he looks really bad. We’ve seen both so far this season.

Had to dip out for a hockey game. Did I miss a Fultz 3?!?!
it was glorious. His stroke from distance is so much different than his stroke from the line, which leads me to believe this shooting hiccup is all in his head. After he hit the 3 he showed significantly better body language ( his body language just sucks since he has been a pro) and looked interested in the game.
Reggie Miller is like 90% stupid, but he did mention early in the game that Fultz needs a hustle play to get some juice and the crowd going, and he actually did that about 10 mins later and the place exploded, then he looked into the game.
He needs to get to a point where he's just playing the game. Look at Simmons and Embiid, they are out there playing ball, not thinking about every mechanical thing in their shot.
