@Malta

can you hook me up with Embiid's defensive numbers and the impact on the Sixers with him on the court and off the court?

Thank you.

I had really meant comparing him against this crop of rookies specifically but now you have me thinking of comparing him thus far against other superstar rookie seasons.

Who has had the best rookie season in the last 15 years? :jbhmm::jbhmm::jbhmm::jbhmm:


Bron and KD and Towns are who come to my mind

He has the best defensive rating on the Sixers (102), his rim protection is on par with DeAndre Jordan, not quite to the Whiteside/Gobert level but he's a rookie and those two are the class of the NBA. When he's on the floor they almost play even with their opponents which is amazing considering they lose games by an average of 11ppg, basically if he could play 30-34mpg right now they'd probably be 6-7 or 5-8 which is insane considering the talent they have around him. His defense is slightly above average, his workload on offense right now kind of means he can't focus on the defensive end like he needs to, once they get better players around him I think he'll be Whiteside/Gobert level, his usage rate on offense right now is 40 :dead:


I want to see them play him and Holmes together more, especially since Richaun looks like he might be able to hit the three ontop of blocking shots, and the fact he'd be able to play with Embiid and Simmons.

That trade would make us worse. Somehow you managed to make the team worse defensively.
