Embiid sat out for a very very long time. Don't know why we don't see that.

Embiid had plenty of time to develop his game.

The lack of Korkmaz run is making me question some things.

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

Amir should get the starting job when Embiid rests. He is easily our 2nd best big.

Reffing has been so one sided these 2 games.

I'm going with the theory that they are showcasing Stauskas.

We have the weirdest collection of jump shots I've ever seen. I'm almost surprised we didn't draft Ball, but now that I see we've infected Fultz, it all makes sense.

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

He was alright, but were things to be worried about. Didn't really shoot well from 3, turned it over a lot, and fouled a lot.

14.7 mpg, 11.4 ppg, 44.8 fg% (8.3 fga/pg), 14.3% from 3 (1.0 3pa/pg), 6.0 rpg, 3 fpg, 2.6 topg.
Had 0 assists in 7 games.

Simmons 2nd EVER game against legit NBA talent, after 12 months out with injury and yet we got some wild hot takes in here.

And this is without any Summer League minutes. Ring rust + adapting to the speed of NBA.

No. Not at all. He was just a black hole and shot everything.

simmons sat out 1 year too, but he still got no jump shot after this "developing time", which is kinda worrying

Baynes is going to give the Celtics something this season. Celtics look much better to me than last year.

2 years vs 1 year. Embiid is also a bit older too.

These things take time.

Holmes floated away after Baynes gave him a push. Might need to put some meat on those bones, Holmes.

I really don't see what you guys see in Holmes.
