Many times. In person as well.
He's not chopped liver, but he isn't Wall/rose/ Russ athletic either. He's best physical asset is his size at the position but he's not upper echelon in terms of quickness or leaping ability

Yea he's not in that really elite tier but there's no shame in that, because few humans are on that level.
He's gotta improve his shooting more so than those guys needed to because of that.
He can definitely use his size to his advantage and continue to put on muscle, improve his athleticism with his frame/genetics.
He's going to have to focus on his PnR decision making the most, hopefully it will just come with more reps.

People are mentioning that he isn't as athletic because athleticism was his main asset when he got drafted. He does need to improve almost every aspect of his game as a PG and I think he will get there in time.

This. His athleticism is not an advantage for him most nites, he's really just about an average athlete. I said before, you'll rarely see him take his man off the dribble and he struggles at the rim because of this. Also struggles on d because of this and lack of awareness, constantly gets lost on screens. I honestly think he'll make a fine bench player. That's a backhanded compliment but it's still a compliment. I'm talking 6moy caliber tho. Most of his best games last year were against scrubs.

The man can barely get off the bench even in preseason...

Random question, but why the heck is embiid wearing the rose 773 III when you have next level shoes coming out this year. I think he's been wearing the same pair since they first came out.

Nah they're not the 773's they're some model with Bounce in them I forget what the name is. They look pretty similar though.

I am liking what I am seeing from Baldwin 
Ingram has that Jennings release. Makes a shot look way harder that it is.
Dunn played well. Nice finish on his first basket.
Embiid is the future
Brown's highlights were a little concerning (just based off highlights) seems like a bull going head first to everything. He will get charged a ton of offensive fouls and his game is a bit predictable at the moment.

For anyone watching the Sixers, how come Timothe Luwawu isn't getting any burn? He seemed pretty solid in the summer league.

Dunn's style of play reminds me of Conley...we should have traded Noel for the Boston or PHX pick to nab Dunn.

He damn sure should be getting mins cuz Henderson sucks :x ...he must not be ready at all

That trade with Boston was not on the table. Everyone knows/knew that Philly is not going to re-sign Noel next summer, so nobody is willing to give up that much for him...Dunn's style of play reminds me of Conley...we should have traded Noel for the Boston or PHX pick to nab Dunn.

Exactly. Is he recovering from an injury or something?

I thought the rumour was that Boston's asking price was way too high.
From the way things are progressing now...it looks like we will get close to nothing for Noel either that or let him walk this summer.

The Danny Ainge special is asking too much for his assets, lowballing other teams and leaking info to the media.

Their asking price probably was high, but Noel isn't worth it though unless you are cool with giving him the max in a year, and Boston wasn't/isn't trying to tie up their cap space. If he had Okafor's contract, I think Boston would've done it.
