There is one thing I would love to see Embiid work on. He takes too much time on offense deciding what to do - he has to speed up his decision cycle. If they are daring you to shoot a 17 foot jumper, just rise and shoot it. He takes a long time in the post as well. With his size, a simple turn around jumper or sky hook would be impossible to stop.
He's going to get it done, but it's going to take some time for him to be proficient.

Very excited to see what he can do with an entire healthy off season to improve his skill and conditioning.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Simmons-cov-lebron-dario-jo
Cov can just literally go stand at 3 line to clear space
Simmons and cov can guard most backcourt combos
Who do your players under 6'7 guard
That team would also have an NBA record defensive rebound rate and be deadly in transition
Add one of the Bridges(es) to rotate with Cov in that lineup, too.

Has anyone ever done an All-Process Team: Salary Version? Like Javale McGee, Hawes, Danny Granger types?
It's easy to focus on the guys who take the floor for us now, but the underrated side of the process was keeping the salary up while continuing to lose games while not totally poisoning the locker room.

Good for him.
His experience with a tanking team will come in handy.
