OT: Teh Philadelphia Severty Sixers: Let’s Do This For JS’s Goodest and Bestest Boy

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ah, just like a real adult.

 

[Embiid]

Ah, just like a real adult.

He took his ball and left...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So it’s not about safety and putting your life in danger...

I also like the theory that he’s just doing this because he’s not allowed to attend games.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ariza opting out of playing in Orlando. Guess we’ll see who else follows.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Bertans said no as well.

 

[trostol]

no sports this year!!!!! well no US sports that isnt NASCAR and golf lol

 

[Lotusflower]

This kinda shocked me. On about 20% usage too.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Those three are the only forwards on the list, being taller helps that rim fg%. Probably not a coincidence.

For sure. Im more surprised by the rate of conversion being high off unassisted drives for Simmons. Im sure transition baskets where he rips the rebound and goes coast to coast are baked into these metrics but it indicates the quality and productivity off his drives even when guys are sagging into the paint. I wouldve thought more of his stuff came off of assisted stuff off cuts but a lot of the stuff im seeing lines up with the eye test in that when he gets that proper volume offensively he's creating at a high end level.

 

[Lotusflower]

He wont win DPOTY but as im doing these deep dives trying to find a reason why things went off the rails im beginning to see Simmons value in a more macro way.

Remember when Malcolm Brogdon won ROTY over Embiid?

Actually, Saric was second. Embiid would most likely have won it if he had played more games. He only played 31.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Brogdan was a 50%/40%/90% guy last year.

Can't say I saw that one coming.

They should have still given it to Embiid. Saric was more deserving too though.

Some giant white sniper.

Broekhoff is a guy many on my timeline were saying is an NBA player when Dallas released him in February. I don't have an informed opinion of his time there, but I do remember him passing some key numerical thresholds coming out. There are the obvious physical limitations on the defensive end, but 3s + Defensive Rebounds + Steals is usually a good profile to have.

IF they play we'll see what he can do. We have a lot of wings that need minutes.
Was a positive player on a poor Mavs team last year. Small samples so hard to tell what he is but he can shoot.

He'd probably still be on their roster if Dallas acquire so much shooting over the last year and a half.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Will Embiid be on a minutes restriction?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Cody Webster]

So for the games that aren't televised on ESPN/ABC/NBA TV/TNT, are the games shown locally? Sixers first two games aren't on any of those stations. Wonder how that works.

I didn't read, so it probably says it somewhere

 

[Lotusflower]

Damn. Knicks waived Allonzo Trier yesterday.
Can we swap Broekhoff for him?
