Slide Tucker to the 3 and let him guard 1s on offense and Harden guard 3's. Have Thybulle and Melton and Maxey play the rest.
So why not just start Reed with Embiid then?
Maxey
Melton
Harden
Reed
Biid
3 guard unit for offensive flow with double big for defense
Obviously not a starting/closing line-up, but it is really frustrating that we're not experimenting with Reed / Embiid combinations at times during the regular season. He, Melton and Thybulle provide the Sixers so much deflections, turnovers, rebouding.
Weird thing is that Reed has actually shot a decent amount of threes in the G League. If he was given the green light, he would certainly match the 3P attempts of Tucker.
Reed must screw up so many assignments and offensive sets that he doesn't get any chance. But with a condensed schedule like the NBA he will for sure not learn it in practice.
But I am sure that Doc will conclude after 6 PO games that Harrell is unplayable and then play Reed big minutes again for the first time in the season. Such a waste of the regular season.
Im not comfortable with either Reed or Harrell at the C position. In my eyes, Reed is slightly better to both are equal as back-up C.
I have raised the white flag with sixers playing double big. I think its just not Morey’s style. Its the same fear I had when i saw him going all in with microball. Maybe im old school, but I still believe you need to play both big and small.
We’re halfway to the season, I think we’re going all in with “great offense, switchable defense and great deflections that is good enough to make up for horrible rebounding” roster/scheme.
Easier to hope we can be the league’s best offensive team than we becoming a good rebounding team
