No player has more pressure on him than James Young.  Every single positive play he has gives him a bit more rope.  He's so close to being cut.

Another good pass from Brown to Mickey there. Too bad Mickey botched the layup.

Jaylen might not be as awful of a passer as I first feared.

Imagine its the dark horse James Young who picks up the slack for Turner this year. That would be insane.

Embiid should be done for the game.

per-36 stats of 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 blocks in his debut.

This is not a situation where per 36 numbers should be used
I agree.  It's unfair to him given it was his very first competitive basketball in 3 years.   He's probably better than that.

Weren't you just saying the other day that you expected people to overreact to Embiid's first game because you thought he'd look rough? Looks like the tables have turned.
Embiid FAR exceeded my expectations.  He was significantly better than anyone could have reasonably hoped for him at this point.   It was a fantastic debut - barring some report that he blew out his knee in that play he came up limping from.

Oh man.  Jaylen to Young.  jaylen does look nba ready.  he looks like jordan out there. Needs to become a better finisher and shooter though and get his shots all down.

this game should not remotely be this close.  Disappointed in our depth.
