They've played pretty much evenly. Bridges has had the better team and has set him up better so he's more efficient. Zhaire has cut well and played good defense. Add the fact that one is 3 years older and a certain unprotected miami pick and yeah, but if you want to panic about 2 summer league games be my guest.

On some real shyt I don’t think Zaire was a bad pick in a vortex. I just think that Mikal was the perfect piece to make this a championship contender NOW. I know philly ain’t built for NOW, but idk I felt Mikal was better for what the team needed. That 2021 pick seems to be paramount to all though

Got rid of hinkie to go and trade for fultz instead of taking Tatum and now trading a championship caliber player brehs
Fultz was kinda like this pick. Guy was proven at what he does but he wasn’t a knock down shooter and wasn’t the most obvious solution to building around Simmons. You don’t really take an off ball player who’s main attribute is making shyt happen with it in his hands #1 overall. I thought they needed wing scoring last year and I guess they could’ve ran Mark at the 2 if he didn’t get fukked up but Jayson was the smart pick

Miles just seems like that nikka in their system. Played for Nova, high IQ, high D, prolly will eventually become a better facilitator and playmaker but isn’t bad in those respects. Zhaire is a better creator and has a far higher ceiling yeah, but they already got creators down pat. It’s basically like they traded for another stash away (Kormaz and Saric have worked in those respects) and the 2021 pick. But knowing them, they might fukk that pick up

That's my knock against Zhaire.He's like a PF trapped in a slightly undersized 2 guard's body.

He doesn't have a nice handle and can't score out of the ISO.Two things you must have at his size.

His hustle & athleticism is off the charts, tho.I don't see a creator when I look at him.

I see hustle & backdoor cuts, tip in's, and dunks.He's the same as Bridges.3 & D.

Just a smaller, more athletic, less efficient version as of right now
