The Sixers have a big Embiid-shaped problem.
He's done. Can't run, can't jump. Most of the time he can't even move. Philly's game grinds to a halt when Embiid is out there. They force feed the ball to him at the low post, and then everybody stands around and watches while he takes crazy one-legged fadeaway jumpers over two guys. The fast-moving small ball they've been winning with goes out the window.
They should be going with a heavy emphasis on Maxey, VJ, Grimes and Oubre, with Adem Bona bringing crazy hustle and rim protection at the 5.
But what do you do when you have a future Hall of Famer on the roster who wants to play and won't take no for an answer?
