But his FT% right now is very disappointing

You're on crack.

Marcus Smart is such an awesome basketball player.

Holmes is an awful rebounder.

Jah has outplayed Holmes so far by such a ridiculous margin I can barely believe it.

gotta say we got spoiled by embiid's rookie season last year and have way too high expectation on simmons and fultz right out of the gate

It's a shame the refs need to allow Smart to grab, pull and foul players, because that's all his game is. Dude literally does nothing else on the court.

I hate him and his antics.

but only because he's not on my team lol.

he;s the exact kinda player every team needs.

BTW, Amir Johnson has had a really nice first showing with this team. He and Redick were excellent 1 year signings and should provide excellent quality to this rotation.

Hate to say it Holmes is a bit redundant when you have basically the same yet better player in Amir.

Yeah could use a Marcus Smart, need more perimeter defense...

With Crowder gone, he's the heart of that team.

Smart understands that refs will likely not call a foul on a little guy against a big guy, because he was all over Holmes there.

wasn't Embiid low key terrible in the preseason too? I remember a lot of TOs

Amir's jumper is so wonky

What jumper? Simmons hasn’t made one jump shot.

The only issue with players like him is that it's really hard to quantify their worth when it comes to their first contract after their rookie pay scale is up.
