76er fans are praying AD loses his starting spot to someone and becomes a backup this year.
Putting embiid and AD together to stop jokic
Jokic would have a lot of trouble scoring on that duo. AD isn’t strong enough to guard Jokic for a whole game but Embiid is. AD is at his best as the free safety on defense so he would almost certainly deter Jokic from being a scorer in the post.
But that doesn’t mean much when Jokic would still just pass the ball to the open guy.
So basically you're saying if AD loses his starting spot, either that means that Jaxon Hayes/Christian Wood will become a Top 10 player in the NBA or AD will become worse than Christian Wood/Jaxon Hayes. Interesting.
