Teams will continue to follow that blueprint and see if Embiid can keep up.The series sweep against the Celtics also highlighted the need for Embiid to improve his decision-making when he gets double-teamed. Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has had a whirlwind of a ride over the past couple of months. Welcome to Sixers Wire's European Union Experience. To his credit, he was double teamed (and even triple teamed) often and mostly responded well when encountering extra bodies. The three-time All-Star found a groove down low in the third quarter on his way to 27 points and nine rebounds. He’s more frequently seeking the paint and inviting contact, although a mid-range miss late in the fourth quarter that didn't hit the rim when Harris was guarded by Derrick White was a poor possession. His performance was improved Monday, and he actually played about two more minutes than Embiid in the first half. We profiled him Woo: “As a tall ball-handling guard with some real creativity to his game, and a player who can be stashed overseas for another year, he has first-round appeal. Teams will have justified size and defensive concerns here, but Terry is worth the risk at this point in the first round for a team like Philly that badly needs as much shooting as it can get.”Vecenie: “The 76ers could use depth in the backcourt, or more options on the wing from a 3-and-D perspective.
The Sixers let San Antonio score 43 points in the final period. Simmons was, for the second straight game, noticeably a few rungs below his best. That hurt not having Ben, but I don’t want to make excuses there. 21 over the decent perimeter options that figure to still be on the board might not make a ton of sense. You didn’t have to be a basketball scout to appreciate their tantalizing combination of size and skill and imagine their future as the key pillars of a championship foundation. The Sixers’ defense wasn’t sharp to start this game after conceding 46 points in the fourth on Saturday. As physically overpowering as Simmons can be, those numbers should be significantly higher. But to this point in their careers, Antetokounmpo has been far more willing to address the weaknesses in his game. His speed, athleticism and defensive talents are all attractive tools, and Givony: “After electing to move Ben Simmons to power forward, the Sixers could stand to shore up their depth at point guard.
With LaMarcus Aldridge out for the rest of the season after having surgery on his right shoulder, the Spurs are an undersized team. The clear model to follow is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is only an inch taller and about 10 pounds heavier than Simmons. The rotations were not precise when the Spurs whipped the ball around the perimeter. Regardless of what happens with the supporting cast, the Sixers won’t improve in any meaningful way if their pair of generational talents don’t live up to the label.Larry Brown on keeping Embiid, Simmons as Sixers foundationNo more 'collaboration days' as Brand leads coaching searchElton Brand says he's 'not looking' to trade Simmons, EmbiidZumoff: Sixers next head coach needs to be 'adaptable'Sixers part ways with Brett Brown after seven seasonsFront office 'blew it' if Al Horford is a Sixer next seasonHighlights: Sixers eliminated after C's complete the sweep2020 NBA mock draft roundup 4.0: Breaking down post-lottery mock drafts Sixers won't improve until Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid do Case against hiring Jason Kidd as Sixers head coach is much longer than the case for him Report: Jason Kidd eyeing up Sixers vacant head coach positionSixers Talk podcast: The Bucks' strike and what happens nextMichael Jordan’s role, the players vs. owners dynamic and the shattering of norms in the NBA NBA playoffs will resume Saturday as league makes 3 major commitments on social justice, racial equalityReports: NBA players decide to resume postseason this weekend Report: NBA season is 'up in the air' after players' meeting It's worth listening to Chris Webber's message on NBA players' protestNBA players strike, remove a distraction and highlight racism and police brutalityWhat Pacers firing Nate McMillan means for the busy NBA coaching scrambleJJ Redick goes to bat for 'incredible class act' Brett Brown after Sixers firingNBA rumors: Kevin Love makes Tyronn Lue sound like an ideal Sixers head coach candidateThe case for and against promoting Ime Udoka to Sixers head coachMake no mistake, Jay Wright is the best option for Sixers head coachSixers' Ben Simmons launches project to challenge racism in Australia Elton Brand doesn’t appreciate Bruce Bowen’s comments on Joel Embiid, Sixers’ ‘accountability’ Elton Brand wants to complement Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, not trade them

"I don't think we should be playing [this summer]," Milton told the media on Tuesday afternoon. In the recent playoff sweep, we saw the Celtics make Embiid work so hard defensively that he looked gassed late in games. Noting that Philadelphia also has two picks in the 30s, it would make some sense to consider moving this selection in the interest of adding to the roster via trade, then grabbing a potential role player or two in the second round.” Ham: “Stewart has an NBA-ready body and should be able to help a team early in his career. If Simmons is unable or simply refuses to add a perimeter jumper to his game, perhaps the only path to unlocking his potential is to surround him with four shooters.
