It’s time to start Khem Birch
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

our length prevented any shot on that Magic possession - Banton basically has center length at the rim on defense. lol

Birch is such a breath of fresh air compared to Precious. He is in the right spots, makes the right pass, sets good screens, takes great shoots and plays within himself. When we have slow starts Nurse needs to get him in the game quicker.

he's definitely improved and it helps when everyone else is playing defense unlike last year. he was definitely a scapegoat for our bad team defense last year.

22 yo - plenty to grow on defense and offense.
