Exactly. His dominance is the only reason those ranks aren't in the late 20s. Those offenses were hard to watch.

Springer’s performance got me legitimately excited for the season. Even if he’s not a consistent performer, I think he’ll have a couple 10 game stretches where he makes a big impact. His development will be crucial for matching up against the Bucks because he’s going to be an awesome Dame defender.

The Kelly Oubre experience is gonna be a rollercoaster tho. He’s definitely gonna lead the team in head scratching moments.

Maybe if Embiid was actually a great offensive player we wouldn't be having these offensive issues. But he is not, he is a mediocre offensive player that benefits from a very soft rules that punish defenders and encourages flopping, hey if it works why not, but then in Playoffs the refs remember to apply more realistic rules and predictably he sucks.
That's why I'm not worried about regular season, nobody should be, he will still dominate it as usual.

Well said. It's nice to be excited about a prospect again since the Fultz and Zhaire debacles. Last season I wish we got to see more Springer and Bball Paul for that matter.

Everyone will be responsible for distribution instead of relying on just one guy to pound the air out of the rock. Motion offense baby!


As opposed to the Simmons days of the emo-tion offense.

Ben looks good in preseason game. Hopefully Nets can get something out of him in year 3 lol.

I haven't seen him attacked around like that since the Rudy Golbert 40-point game.

Love to see it

Some details looked AI generated like the faces of the people, but I remembered Springer was wearing NIKE GT Hustle shoes and so far all the spellings seems to be correct.
