    Clint actually has really good hands and has not shown that he can't catch that bounce pass in the lane just as good as nene and trez.

    Trez prob is the better finisher but part of that is he's a lot smaller and more agile around the hoop which is a big plus but also the reason why he's a poor rebounder and limited defender.

    Your underselling clints ability around the rim. Before the injury he was one of the better finishers in the paint in the entire league.

    We really miss his rebounding and rim protection. I'm ready to see how the team looks with him back on the court.

    Will be really nice to have trez coming off the bench with Gordon/dekker that's a really strong 6/7/8 man and then add nene and brew for spot minutes and you have a very deep team.

    Brewer doesn't make a deep team, unless he's at the tail end of the bench or in D-League. ;)

    Capella biggest knock has been his stamina his whole short career... I hope they return him to game shape pretty quickly.

    cmon this move isnt that complicated and defenses will often 'let' you do it cause they do not suspect you gonna do it...the only question is whether you have green light from the coach to do it and the brains to even think about it...
    if i recall well trez did a similar move in one of the last cuople of games when defense sagged off of him he just took it to the rim...
    and they often let him wide open on the top of the key because they dont think he has that range/jumper

    Embiid is already the best C in the league. Numbers back this up too.

    Philly has the #1 defensive efficiency over the last month when he's on the floor.


    Their +/- is like -500 without him and +10 with him

    That was just one dribble then cradle the ball to get past the defenders. Not difficult to learn. Capela would have finished that with his left hand. :)

    Nice. Hopefully the Rockets put the Heat away early and Clint can play in garbage time.

    Why no videos of him passing?
    Dantoni needs to have a talk with him.

    Great news! We'll need him against the Warriors and once the big road trip starts at the end of the week.

    Great news! Clint is ready. I'll be interested in how we use him, his minutes, what kind of shape he's in. He'll probably be eased into the lineup, but you never know.
