When Maxey trained with his trainer before Hanley ( forgot his name), he was a way better shooter from 3, but it´s probably related to him taking easier shots playing along with Harden, although his CS percentages dropped last year too..

He actually trained with Drew before his all star year. He was shooting fine with Joel healthy... As Maxey is traditionally an elite catch and shoot player. Without players to play off of like Harden or Joel... He's forced to take too many pull ups, though he's steadily improvin there too, but it is definitely a weakness

I think Bona will have a nice year as our backup C( hoping Embiid can play a bit lol). If he was a little bit taller, i would be more confident in him as our Backup center, but atleast he has a nice wing span.

That's a lowkey insane dunk.

I always liked his game to be a nice backup C.

He's as tall if not taller than a guy like Adebayo.

He's big enough if he can get out and defend in space when it matters.

You need a big like Bona to counter teams that spam 1–5 PnRs with their guards. He’s also one of the few bigs you can pair in a double-big lineup since he’s mobile (Turkey run a double big with him and Sengun), and I’ve seen him working on a corner three, even if I’m not expecting him to be reliable there yet.

I can see play-off matches when teams would hunt a hurt or tired Embiid then we have to sub him for Bona.

Currently, he’s great as a back-up big with his energy and mobility.

Apparently they offered him around, but there were no takers. Teams wanted a 2nd attached and Morey wasn't doing that, at least yet.

I expect Oubre and Drummond will both be gone by the deadline.

Is it wrong to say the PG universe is separate from the one we all live in?

Daryl Morey pulled up his Excel sheet, identified rebounding as a clear need, and then scanned the FA pool. The best rebounder available? Andre Drummond.

One player I really wish had panned out was Mo Bamba.

To be fair to Drummond, he was great for us before we traded him to the Nets. He also played really well with the Bulls, to the point where we were rumored to be interested in trading for him before the deadline. And we all thought it was a solid signing.
