Rozier is going to have to stick with Redick/Belinelli on off-ball screens. That’s going to be a key to series because everyone else is too big for him. Also, not sure Larkin can play in this series except for when McConell is in. I doubt they want Al guarding Embiid for more than spot minutes. I think you’ll see Baynes start and Monroe take some of Larkin’s minutes.
Overall, primarily Baynes and Monroe with spot minutes from Al on Embiid.
Rozier/Larkin on Redick/McConnell
Simmons will see a lot of different looks I think: Horford, Semi, and Jaylen/Smart/Morris at times. Another key will be not allowing Philly to seek out Simmons vs Rozier/Larkin mismatches.
Morris/Tatum/Brown on Saric/Covington/Bellinelli works.
Keys are can we score we’ll enough to guard Embiid with Baynes/Monroe for 36 minutes a game?
How do we guard Simmons in transition and on ball screens to avoid him getting matched up on Rozier/Larkin in post or against Monroe on perimeter drives.
