    No, you don’t make any sense.
    You’re arguing with yourself here jackass. No one, and I mean no one said post up every time down.
    Embiid is averaging 1.18 PPP on 4.7 post ups a game. Averaging 1.18 PPP on PNR at 7 attempts a game. Both very efficient, his spot up is efficient as well.
    He said he didn’t want to be doubled so he had to get to his spots. That’s a selfish attitude, period.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what is said here.
    But, he’s not 6’9. They say this stuff to try and make him seem less than. That’s aggravating

    A subdued Hollins said yesterday, " You can't score 30 and allow 20 points. You can't score 40 and allow 30 points." when describing the nights Jalen and Sengun were having. Yes and No. This is what the nba is now. Look at the Harden Rockets. They had to bring in not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 guys that didn't require many shots a night and gave their all on defense, Capela,Tucker, Ariza and CP3(only took 13Fgs his time here). You'd be doing the same only in reverse with Green and Sengun. Alpi will be at least an average defender by age 21/22. Just need Green to try on that end.
    Sengun
    Wemby
    Smith jr
    Green
    KPJ + Pat Bev (someone like that a little younger)

    If it's still looking like the 2018-2019 Cavs defense then you will have to start trading the KPJs and who knows, even the entire 2021 draft class. How rebuilds go. I think Green, Sengun and Jabari will be tremendously successful here or elsewhere.

    Embiid's post ups was 7.8 with 1.05 PPP last year. He cut that down by almost half this season and is now shooting more efficiently. He is essentially shifting his post ups to PnR and Elbow which is causing every effiency stat to go up on offense while scoring more points.

    He was forcing post ups last year while doing it less efficiently because of double teams, turnovers etc. You have not made one good argument why him expanding his game while doing so more efficiently this year is selfish. Who really is a jack ass

    Maybe I'm missing something, but which offensive player WANTS to be doubled?

    I can't believe our fans can't appreciate what we have in Sengun. He's going to be an All Star multiple times. More importantly he's an intelligent player and will help with Green's development. Just get KPJ out of here and good things will happen

    No one wants to be doubled. But being doubled opens up for others. Really not that difficult

    So if no one wants to be doubled, why are you criticizing him for saying he didn't want to be doubled?

    Keep pumping up that trade value Alpi!

    Perfect world where we land #1 and Detroit #2, and since they have Cade, they don't need Scoot. We could offer up Alpi and his fans for Scoooter.

    Scott
    Green
    Porter
    Jabari
    Wemby

    All of this is conjecture on your side. Sorry, it just is.
    You can’t say he’s gotten more efficient because he doesn’t post up as much when his post ups are averaging more PPP this year.
    That’s not even mentioning, the year is only half over. ma
    And again, not one person has said post up every time down. You’re arguing with yourself.

    I’m criticizing him for disrespecting his superiors and for being selfish. He’s looking out for his numbers.

    Is it really selfish though? Isn't it better for the 76ers if Embiid isn't doubled?

    Is it better for him to eat and not Harden, Maxey, Harris, Melton, Milton?

    No, no it’s not.

    Why not? When Embiid faces single coverage, don't good things tend to happen?
