NBA - Main

Nurse is putting him at the top of the key and letting him read the floor from there... while also incorporating motion off the ball. It's a completely different environment for Joel.

embiid adds something to his game every season it’s crazy. came in with defense & post game, added the midrange shooting, then the 3s, then the handles, and now the passing.

Doesn’t get talked about enough how he’s 7’ 280 and plays like a wing 75% of the game.

I think Embiid always had the passing it’s just that rivers ran the worst offenses imaginable. Literally the Tyron Lue meme “give LeBron ball” but with Embiid.

I swore when watching Embiid under that offense he’d get doubled and yet still have no options to pass too.

It cracks me up that Rivers used the excuse that Joel needed to know where the shooters are to pass to as the reason he had no off ball action at all.

Now the offense moves and embiids assists are exploding.

Rivers is lazy, incompetent and stupid. I'm so fricking glad he's finally gone.

It's partially coaching

It’s also roster construction. They finally added some wings (Batum, RoCo, Oubre) who can move off ball and shoot around Embiid. Makes his life easier.
