Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Markelle :wow:

Him and Ben look like they already have chemistry, but I guess it's easy to have chemistry with Magic 2.0 :ttpblessed:
Markelle moves really well without the ball, he cuts well and always to the right spot giving him DWade-esque off-ball value already, regardless of his shot
He really didn't have many opportunities to take jumpers, they just weren't giving it to him. Looked fine off-the-dribble to me and he drained that hesi pullup jimbo s/o KD :banderas:
I was very encouraged by him draining both his FTs and his confidence looked fine in terms of shooting the ball.

Everything else about Markelle's game is and has been amazing. Cutting, attacking closeouts, getting to and finishing at the rim, vision, creativity in passing and ball handling, ability to create shots, chase down blocks, the variety of moves in his arsenal with stepbacks, spins, etc., disruptive defense

The length ( :dame: ) and potential defense on that starting 5 with Fultz, Simmons, Covington, Saric, Embiid :damn:

Markelle had an off night. Went into a shell after the first half. He also needs work off ball. On ball he does work but off ball is an issue.

JoJo looking 1st team All NBA so far.
We just need Dario to wake up, and for someone from the second unit to rise up. Shamet is ok, but getting too much tick.

I like Shamet :manny: he’s getting all that tick so he can grow into reliable offense of the bench plus his mins will go down when Chandler is back.

Fultz played better this game but going forward unless he shoots it better, I don't think him and Simmons can play with each other. I hope I'm wrong though

You know what I'm not gonna get too high or too low about Fultz. Ima just be chilling in the corner and watch how it plays out. The middle pick and roll jumpers will go down and when they do he's in double digits every night. I just want him to be treated like a regular ball player man.
Imma give him till December, then imma be like :comeon: if he dont improve...
