Drummond is such a great passer. Blessing and a curse when it comes to what he tries to do, but he's huge upgrade over Dwight. Dwight would have gone for a dunk there and missed a free throw.

I've been impressed with Drummond. I'm sure there's going to be those frustrating times when he tries to do too much, but for a minimum deal backup C, I'm not sure I could ask for more.Stanford wrote:

They had a 103.9 ORTG with Dwight last year versus 115.9 with Drummond so far.
It’s early and Niang obviously helps too but that’s the biggest reason for the much better offense this year. The starters are staying pretty close to where last years group with Ben was and there’s not as big of an offensive drop off now with Drummond and Niang.

Which is pretty impressive considering there’s a big drop off on league average ORtg from last year to this year with the rule change while Embiid is on a shooting slump shooting 43% so far this season.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

For sure. Curry has been crazy hot and I think Maxey has actually shown progress as a point guard over the past few games.
