Sixers Depth Chart

[PhillyNj]

Just trying to figure out the rotation:
Pg. Simmons/32min. BPg.Maxey /24 min. 3rd. Springer. 2way Tucker
Sg. Curry / 28 min. BSg. Milton / 20 min. 3rd. Joe
Sf. Green /26min. BSf. Thybulle / 24 min. 3rd. Korkmaz.
Pf. Harris /32min. BPf. Niang / 16min. 3rd Reed/Clark
C. Embiidi /31. BC. Drummond 24. 2 way Bassey

Assuming no more trades does this look right?

No way Drummond gets 24 mpg unless Embiid is not playing.

Yea I’m figuring Embiidi misses his normal 15 or so games which will up Drummonds mins.

[blargh]

Dwight ended up averaging 17mpg, so I’d count on that for Drummond.

No way Korkmaz resigns for 3 years unless he’s told he has some regular role

True Dwight got less but Bradley got quite a bit too.

If they pretend Ben is a point guard again, the season is over before it even starts.

[phillynative]

Maybe Reed get some spot mins at the 5?

[sixers4real]

Our depth chart screams a trade of Simmons + 1 wing (Thybulle/Curry) + 1 young PG(Maxey/ Springer) for a star scoring guard (Beal/Dame).
Both bench Cs (Drummond and Bassey) scream that as well (can't co-exist with Simmons)

And I agree Korkmaz singed here not just to be a third SF.

Morey's got some in his mind.

Exactly. Simmons, Maxey, Petrusev, Paul Reed and picks for Dame sounds about right.

Embiid/Drummond/Bassey
Harris/Niang/Tolliver
Green/Korkmaz
Thybulle/Curry/Springer
Dame/Milton

Korkmaz and Springer eat up a lot of the regular season minutes of Curry/Green.

Maybe at that point use TPE to bring in another vet PG in case of an injury to Dame or Shake.

Kork will get minutes. Likely from the Niang/Milton allotment you have.

If they pretend Ben is a point guard again, the season is over before it even starts.

We won the equivalent of 56 games last year, and we don't have anyone else who can play PG. Not every comment has to be 'we're not a championship team, Ben is a bum.'

You don’t have to be so sensitive. I don’t think Ben is a good enough point guard to win in the playoffs. If he is our point guard, then we aren’t going to have a good season. If that upsets you, I don’t know what to tell you. This team needs a real point guard or we won’t have a successful season.

If they pretend Ben is a point guard again, the season is over before it even starts.

If his agent is talking about him going to GSW, maybe silent Ben coming to terms with playing front court.

I would almost rather move Tobias and keep Ben as a forward. Not an ideal fit next to Embiid, but he can defend, rebound and run the fast break, and since he only shoots around the basket, while not use him in a position that plays... you know... near the basket.

Then he wouldn't have as much pressure to improve his outside shooting. He wouldnt have to bring the ball up the court and quickly give it to Tobias or Seth like a hot potato out of fear of getting fouled. Even if it’s not a great fit, it would allow us to showcase him at a position he has the skillset for.

Not sure what you're getting 'sensitive' from, I thought you made a tired and basically irrelevant point so I said so. Ben was the PG on a very good team last year so your point about 'pretending he's a point guard' was bad; and your point about us probably not winning a championship was forcing the same old point we all know about into a different and more interesting conversation. As the post said, we don't have any better options than Ben right now--Milton isn't good enough and, despite some nice moments, Maxey wasn't close to a plus player last year and would need to take a heroic leap to be in that conversation. Using the opportunity to complain again that Ben disappears in the PO is like going to a discussion about renting apartments in Philly and repeating that moving to LA is the only option. We live in Philly, and we have a roster, so we're talking about playing the hand we've been dealt and not just endlessly lamenting that that hand maybe isn't the best hand we could've possibly got.

Also we do live in Philly so disagreeing with everything someone says qualifies as a pleasant everyday conversation.

He's a point forward playing out of position. We can get by in the regular season with this facade but it doesn't work in the playoffs.

Honestly it would work worlds better if we actually played him as one and not straight to the dunker spot in the half court

If you don’t like my posts, then just skip them. I don’t plan to have my post conform to how you think debate should occur. I think your idea to start Ben at point guard is a disaster, and if somebody suggests that Ben should be our point guard, I will definitely continue to voice my opinion.

I’m not a big fan of the “point forward” term. It often just refers to a player who is the size of a big man, but is a good passer. I think you see some bigs initiate offense from the post, but a lot of them have really good perimeter skills.

I think Ben doing a lot of that on a team with shooters would be effective, but prob not as much on a team with Joel, where Jo in the post is usually our focus. In addition, now he is struggling to even possess the ball on offense due to his free throws struggles, so I don’t think they could of done much with him in the playoffs.

Frankly, I would rather keep him than dump him at such a low value, and try to find offensive sets where he can handle the ball more often in the post. Ben has been poorly coach and asked to do things not in his skillset for years. Nobody who follows the team was surprised when he fell apart in the playoffs. The free throw thing was unexpected, but the inability to run a half court offense against good playoff defenses wasn’t a shocker.

I don't get what you mean by this. "What does playing him like one entail"?

The problem is he doesn't get defended outside on the peremiter. Atleast in the dunker spot he is a threat to go up for a dunk, off reb or pass back out with his vision.
