he could be 4th, but he could also be 2nd best
best part about this whole thing is that even if one of our top guys has a off game, we've now got so much firepower that it doesn't matter anymore

Sure. Could go Mike Scott in that spot too.

YEah, I was mainly thinking for the weakside shot blocking. It just amazes me that Embiid has stated several times how he enjoys playing now with a PF who is a strong defender (Noel/Bolden) and we don’t try it more. Seems like boldens game offensively is suited to make it work more than Noel’s was.
It also allows us to run JJ off the bench for some scoring bunch (with less being picked on by starting offenses as the weakness link). Seems win win if Harris can still excel as more 3 than 4

I value Boban than Beverly. Defense has been the biggest problem of this team. And the defense with Biid off court is the main problem. Pat Beverly’s is really not likely gonna solve that than Boban.
Pat Beverly isnt gonna stop Kyle or Kyrie. It takes a team effort. Just as how Celts defends Embiid. And to stop Kyle or Kyrie, it starts with Embiid more willing to step out to challenge a 1-5 PnR with the entire team rotating and helping each other out.

There is a buyout market for centers with Marcin, Robin Lopez. I don't think TJ Mcconell is good defensively and you have no one who can defend Kyrie/Kyle/Bledsoe. Even with Harris we could not defeat celtics at home without kyrie. How are you going to defeat
Celtics four times. You need someone among the big four to step up big and I don't think Embiid or Simmons are capable. Butler has to take over the game like LeBron did last year.
We still don't have a good backup point guard and we traded Markelle for another small forward.

Jimmy Butler or Ben can defend PGs.
At some point the PG position will be full time played by Jimmy and Ben.
Try to watch OKC-Sixers game see how Ben was so effective defending RW. Jimmy can also defend star PGs, problem is Biid doesnt step out on 1-5 PnR. This is also why spencer dinwiddie had a career night against us.
Believe me.. boban’s defense is elite and is overlooked. If we can use boban effectively, that would unlock our defensive upside.
