Probably, better passing and spotting up than Oubre, and second unit could use Oubre’s creation/chucking more anyway.

100%. Oubre cooks as the 6th man. Let the man cook!

Batum is a far better fit with the starters.

Maxey
Oubrew
Batum
Toby
Embiid

Should be the starters. Shooting, play making, athleticism and length. We can find another bench scorer during the season, also wouldn’t hurt to play some bench lineups with a couple of the starters. I’d also play some Furk and Morris

It's quite obvious, after one game, that Leonard and George were holding Batum back.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.
