Nephew and daughter getting powell jerseys for xmas :blessed:

I have a vision that Norm ascends to max player status and our No.1 by the time Lowry and Demar kick rocks after the 3rd year...

The 2nd round prince and the prodigal son leading us :to:

Does Casey share that vision? :mjgrin:

He's going to be good imo but how do him and Fultz co-exist??

You use them the same way kyrie and bron played with each other. Have the ball in ben's hands primarily while fultz spots up. When fultz has the ball ben should be cutting or setting picks for dump downs/lobs, or setting off ball screens to get others open using his frame.

As long as fultz can hit spot up j's they will coexist fine. And embiid is basically a get out of jail free card cuz he can cover up other's weaknesses on defense and still down the floor and drop 25 on the opposing teams center like its nothing

I actually would flip it. Ben needs to be better off the ball. You don't draft Fultz to play him like he's James Jones. He's a P&R guard.

I agree. Really both need to play better without the ball. Its just that fultz right now with his skillset, will be better as an off ball threat than ben will for years

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
It's early but they might not be able too.


Nah, they will be able to co-exist, but the issue is that Ben has to be more aggressive and look to score when he does have the ball. The passing skills are nice, but for him to be truly effective he needs to be a 17-20ppg scorer in the future, you cannot dominate the ball and be a non-scorer in the league now.

If Embiid is healthy the pecking order should be JoJo, Fultz, Simmons in terms of scoring.
