sixers fan here....nice trade u got for brewer, but dont hold your hopes too high for alexey. i've seen enough of his game to know that he is what he is: a very streaky shooter with crappy D. Only ways you can effectively play him is if 1) he has defenders to hide his weakness and 2) he's given over 20 minutes, b/c he actually has ok numbers when given burn.

This is how i see the rotation going forward (without Tjones)

Beverly/Terry
Harden/Brewer
Ariza/Brewer
Dmo/Papa/Ariza/(Black)
Howard/Dmo/(Black)

Shved and Canaan on the outside looking in. We play more smallball with Papa/Ariza at 4 and DMo at 5 when Howard sits.

9 men rotation with Black(10th) getting spot duties.

Daniels is gonna fit in nicely in MIN, playing alongside Rubio or Lavine.

Has Daniels taken his physical yet? If not, no Brewer tomorrow which means alot of minutes for Ariza AGAIN!

Brewer is definitely an upgrade over what we have off the bench. The only concern I have is whether he'll chuck up a bunch of 3's like the rest of our team when he's a way below average long range shooter. But he provides instant energy, which can sometimes be game changing, he's very good in transition, and he creates a couple transition opportunities every game too with his D. He's probably a little overrated as a man defender, but he can definitely be disruptive at times...which fits in well with what we've been doing this season.

Brewer looked great but he did take more shots than i expect. He even attempted a few one dribble pull up that nobody on our team sans Harden are allowed to take.

His energy, defense and transition game will help us tremendously. I expect his shooting % to be crap going forward tho.

Does that we are signing Ndudi Ebi?

He'll be fine down the stretch and I really like the addition he brings.
