Playmaking =/= just passing. You gotta be able to score, draw fouls, get to the line, draw a double

I agree. Your value as a playmaker ain't much if you aren't even a threat to playmake for yourself.
That being said Philly has a lot of things going for them in this covid invitational.

That was in his second year of playing pro basketball. If you think that's going to be who he will be the rest of his career that's one thing, but everyone was gladly waiting for Ingram, Greek, Hayward, etc to become contributors on his level for 4 years.
Not writing dude off as done developing at this point, though yeah, it'd be nice if he'd take even ONE jumpshot a game. He's also being used to absolute wrong way. Imagine dude playing 4 next to a tandem like Steph and Klay

Don't really understand pigeonholing him into a position anyways. He's basically the epitome of positionless. 22/9/8 while playing 1st Team Defense with no Embiid. Team is still very poorly constructed around him. He's a star.
Elton Brand purposely building a team that makes no sense around Ben is the issue.

Damn
I still have my doubts w/Ben roster construction issues noted, but philly definitely isn't helping matters when it comes to him.

76ers will be a better playoff team.
I think they just have to find a new coach next offseason.
Brett isnt built for all that talent.

They have a ton of size. W/no Homecourt, 5 months off, shooting should be bad. Having Ben and Jojo defensively + bad shooting may push Philly into the chip

I suppose I should have said they are only good when they get to feed off their home crowd. Without that, and their garbage spacing and shooting, (thanks Elton), the Orlando situation isn’t going to be particularly ideal. They are FOOD if they have to play MIL/BOS/TOR.they are awful away from home...while playing on other team’s home floor?
none of that matters

I mean I guess that’s true, But the Orlando variables are such that I don’t how it’ll impact things. Like, are we sure they’ll be food against those teams you mentioned? What if guys from Boston and Toronto just can’t make shots? No home court for any team is a big deal. I wouldn’t roll with Philly but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made it through in this context.

I’ve said this quite a few times lol
I’ve said back in 2018 to move Simmons to the 4 and let Fultz flourish as the PG, but EYE was told that EYE was crazy
Nope. Not happening lol
Brett’s insistence on having Ben be the point is the root issue. It wasn’t until THIS YEAR when Ben decided to play more in the post (circumstances yes). None of the other guards are lead ballhandlers and just guys who can theoretically shoot and play off Simmons (Ha Ool, Trey)
Because EB at the time has less power than Brett. Brett ain’t want another PG to take duties from Ben
Him at the 4 with Jo works (see Sixers - Clippers from Feb pre ASB). As long as Simmons is aggressive and looking to get to the rim, that pairing is elite
Brett’s fault. EB didn’t have more power until like January. Everything had to get clearance from Brett regarding roster. If Brett didn’t want Horford, Sixers wouldn’t have signed him

EB ain’t perfect but this mess ain’t 100% his. More like 37% lol

Both suck. Both should go.
Choosing to create a team that can't shoot in the year 2020 is hilarious.

I don’t get why the Bucks don’t get more respect. Because they lost to Toronto last year? Seems like it’s popular to pick other East teams right now. I still got Milwaukee winning the East, with Boston and Toronto as my sleepers.

Brown should be gone first. Brand was brought in to support Brown, not work together in cohesion. A lot of the moves made was what Brown wanted and thought he could make work. It wasn’t until earlier this year (2020), that Brand was given more power.

Fair. I just want Brett gone ASAP lol plus I’m tired of seeing the black man get scapegoated (he deserves fair criticism tho)
