I still can't believe we have to start Isaac freaking Bonga because they didn't want to retain Justin Anderson.

Credit to Embiid for slimming down and likely greatly increasing his longevity as a top tier talent.

Philly must be the tallest team in the league. Simmons is not even playing :o They going to be hard to beat.

Disappointed, too-many years under Ernie perhaps

McRae has always shown he can score.

Wagner has some pretty nice wiggle to him. Bertans has a lot going for him and I'm not talking about overall effectiveness, but he looks like his spine is fused together when compared with Wagner.

I’ll say this - if we’re thinking longterm , then getting minutes to Bonga should take precedent (I do wish we had Anderson on the roster instead of one of the extra point guards , however)

Bonga has a nice physical profile and he looks more competent every game. He’s a smart, unselfish player and there could be something there.

Is Ish in the rotation when Thomas is healthy? McRae way better.

I agree but at the same time. Miles does nothing for this team and Justin Anderson or jamario jones, could have been better than keeping him for a year or less. Same with Ian same with a hurt IT.

Bonga is not 'smart' at all.... He has the tools. Absolutely doesn't have the smarts

Anderson and Jemerrio will probably be available next summer if we really wanted to bring them back. We’ll see .

A 6'8 that can be the ball handler in a PnR is worth investing in. Already two 3 point kickouts from middle penetration by Bonga.

10 second violation on a foul shot? Never heard of that before.
