I'm convinced this nicca will never have a healthy career. Stupid ass 7'0+ almost 3 bills and he's tryna euro step and shyt from the 3 point line. I hate this nicca. :to:

I really do think he needs to lose some weight. For as talented as he is..hes damn near clumsy. He used to trip and fall all the time at KU. shyt used to drive me insane.

They need to tell him to stop driving from the 3 line, and they need to get him out of the games when he's tired. He looks like a baby deer when he's winded.

He's too heavy in conjunction with his core not being strong enough and his quads are weak which is why he trips so much. He needs to take up yoga ASAP, flexibility, core strength and upper leg strength should be their priority, when he sprints his running motion looks great, when he's just jogging up the court he barely bends his knees to use his quads.


All of his injuries have been poor mechanics related, and it seems like they didn't bother to clean that up.

I haven't watched alot of his preseason....is he still getting the majority of his touches in the high post?

It drives me crazy when bigs don't get the ball deep enough in the post.

Nah, he gets the ball in a variety of places, they give him the ball out top now to try and get Simmons a post up which makes sense. They run horns a lot which involves screens or dribble hand offs from Embiid a the 3 line, but the sets also flow into him diving down to get a post up.

They need to stop him from dribble driving though, or at the least tell him to pull up sooner as he's always trying to make contact for the foul. And the euro-steps gotta stop.

None of the shyt he said he worked on with the staff seemed to work. His landings don't look improved and he always looks a bit heavier than what he should be.
