Tyrese Maxey: 6.9

Joel Embiid: 6.6

James Harden 6.2

Watching the Sixers and Clippers offenses since the Harden trade it's understandable why this is happening. Clippers play the same slow paced, lifeless iso ball while the Sixers run a DHO and motion heavy offense. Still surprising to see the 2022 assists leader numbers be this low.

Jokic has been averaging more points than harden since 20-21 though

[–] Lol69HaHaHa@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I meant compared to themselves. Jokic is averaging more points than ever in the regular season and Embid more assists compared to his past self.

well in embiids case the sixers have an actual functioning offense under Nick Nurse so there's that

Anyone we trade for or sign immediatelt cuts and moves off ball day 1 until we beat it out of them. At least under Glenn lol. It's no surprise batum and oubre are arguably the two best cutters embiid has played with

Yeah i have been hearing good things about Nick Nurse lately.

And with Jokic its probably just not having Jamal and him taking over scoring duties when his teammates strugle to score.

But it is intresting how the 76ers offense is now a lot more dynamic and Maxey is becoming a true star caliber player.

I remember hearing a lot of praise about his potential a while back, but without Harden he is showing it of quite nicely.

For me what won me over with Maxey was the series against the hawks.

He is so fast. He finally is a bit more controlled now.

He always looks like he's having fun and cares alot. You could see it when he yelled at harden on a play over the playoffs. He was ready to take this step.

His shooting is now kinda godly though.

Nick nurse also is getting the best out of this team.

Oubre is gonna help so much I can't wait for him to come back.

This year - as long as the basketball gods don't break embiid face again I think we have a real shot.
