Even Maxey has a lot of upside running PnR

The return of Biid’s elite rim protection?
Bradley, Reed and D12 are good shot blockers
Bradley and D12 are good in ORebs
We'll probably see more pick and roll but just remember that Ben is still here. Going to be hard to run it with him in the lineup I'd imagine.

Ben can set the picks and be a rim roller. I think even Brett experimented on that in the bubble.

I think we’ll first get him do his thing (DHO?) then if he passes up to the shooter and the shooter is not open, then the shooter can run a 2 man game with him or Biid. Something like that.

Ben/Green/Thybulle/Harris/Embiid should be the starting 5. Can flip Green and Curry as well, but I don't see Ben moving off the point other than time with the second unit replacing Tobias and then it is probably Shake as the backup point guard.

Unless Thybulle is shooting 38% percent on a atleast 3-4 3s per game, that's not going to be enough spacing for that lineup. Curry is necessary to unlock the potential of the lineup, and give Biid and Ben the space they need.

Brett did not run it that much to gauge his efficiency in it. But with Ben's athleticism, he can surely do it.

Keep Curry in the starting lineup. Ben, Green and Joel is enough to cover Curry and Harris on defense. Also Harris guarding PF is not that much of a liability compared when he is guarding SF. Keeping Curry in the starting lineup doesn't equate to him playing 30+MPG and it also doesn't mean that he will be part of the closing lineup. Ben and Joel needs that spacing to let their games be as comfortable as it can be from the get go.

I dont see Thybulle starting.

I’d rather see the energy of Thybulle, D12, Milton and Kork off the bench. Those 4 can give you high impact offense and defense on short spurts.

A better case would be Milton starting over Seth.

Isn’t the point of adding Seth was to emulate the JJ, Biid and Ben trio? Then why isn’t Seth starting?

Definitely see Green starting along our top 3 guys.

He doesn't have to shoot 38% to provide the spacing. He could shoot 34-36% like Covington, if he shoots a high volume and is willing to shoot when contested. The willingness to shoot when contested causes more gravity than a few percentage points here or there.

Yeah agreed. It needs to be at volume though. He needs to be respected enough as a shooter for players to go and defend him.

Pg. Ben/Milton ( Ben’s out of position but the best option with the current players)
Sg. Curry ,(better suited as 6th man but needed for spacing with Ben running the point)
Sf. Green ( way past his prime, but can give some needed leadership)
Pf. Harris ( back to his best position, expect a big year)
C. Embiidi ( thank god Brett brown is gone, Sixers finally play some defense.)

BENCH:
Pg. Milton should improve
Sg Thybulle, can’t start with Green but great off the bench
Sf. Korkmas. Works alongside Thybulle. (Offense/defense)
Pf. Scott ok backup
C. Howard. ( decent backup)

Maxey will get some time, but with limited camp/preseason I'm willing to bet that him along with some of the other young guys sit for at least the first month of the season.

I'm hoping he gets more than some time. He's the only player on the team that can create his own shot outside of Embiid and Seth Curry.

I could definitely see Joe, Maxey, Milton, Curry all getting lots of minutes. I think we will see Ben almost exclusively as the backup PF with at least 2 guards on the floor. And stretches of small ball 5 Ben with Milton/Curry/Green/Thybulle out there with him.

Smh some of these line-ups look weak as hell tbh. Unless we get a decent SF/PF who can stretch the floor, defend a little and score a few points (like Bobby Porter for example) I don't see us getting very far with this roster right now. I'm hoping Maxey, Reed and Joe can step up big this season but other than that I can't see how we get to the finals.
