In the 20 17 NBA draft, 76ers selected markel-Fultz with the Celtics' No.1 pick, which successfully reinforced the position of No.1 pick. Today, the 76ers have "great" joel embiid, No.1 scholar Simmons and flanked by Fultz. The 76 ers who successfully assembled three little kings can still spoil the East in the new season?
Fultz was selected by 76 people with the No.1 pick.
76 people have been questioned and ridiculed for four years in a row, but now, the extreme strategy of 76 people has been rewarded. Open the roster of the 76-man unfinished team, and you will find that this team is full of talents. Through these four years, the 76ers have accumulated young stars who can change the fate of the team.
Inside, the 76ers have Embiid who can end the era of small ball in a healthy state. As a 20 14 flower show, Embiid finally came back after two consecutive years of injury reimbursement. In the 20 16- 17 season, he averaged 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2. 1, and played only 25.4 minutes. As long as he is healthy, Embiid has a chance to become the strongest center in the league today. However, Embiid was still plagued by injuries after his comeback. He only played 365,438+0 games because of injury, and injury is still his strongest enemy.
Fifth place, the 76ers also had a 20 15 flower show, and Jahir Okafor. In the first two seasons of his career, Okafor averaged 14.7 points and 6 rebounds and shot 5 1%. He has a strong inside skill. However, Okafor, as a traditional insider, obviously can't keep up with the trend of the times, the pace is too slow, and the defense is full of loopholes, and he is unwilling to play the role of the sixth person as a substitute for Embiid. If the 76ers don't want to stay in Okafor, they can trade to strengthen other positions.
In the frontcourt, the 76ers are well staffed. 20 16 champion Simmons and 20 14 champion 12 saric all have their own positions. They play completely different ways and can complement each other when they are together. Small forward Covernton is the best 3+D player of the 76ers, including justin anderson, who can also contribute to the 76ers. The 76ers have many choices when matching the frontcourt.
In the backcourt, the biggest reliance of the 76ers is naturally Fultz, and McConnell, veteran Bells, Gerald Henderson and Stokas will also enter the rotation. The 76ers can either let Fultz play the backcourt point guard and partner Henderson, or push Fultz to the second position, and the options are equally diverse.
Of course, the current lineup of the 76ers is not perfect. They are inexperienced, and they still need to introduce old hands in the free market and trading market to help these young people grow up.
The combination of Simmons, Embiid and Fultz is brilliant.
The three little kings hoarded by the 76ers are not only the accumulation of talents, but also the three can complement each other in playing. If they can grow up smoothly, these three little stars can make contributions like Lei Sanshao.
Fultz and Embiid will be a perfect match, and their styles of play not only have no similarities, but also complement each other perfectly. Embiid can be inside and outside, and Fultz can attack and pass. The cooperation between high and low position and pick-and-roll will be strong. Fultz can not only create opportunities for Embiid who squats or cuts out, but also use Embiid's containment to get a breakthrough or a shot.
The biggest concern of 76ers in the industry is the cooperation between Fultz and Simmons. Both of them need to hold the ball in their hands to exert their greatest strength. Relatively speaking, Simmons is less powerful when he doesn't hold the ball. After all, as an organization forward, his shooting ability is very weak. Now he has to rely more on his athletic ability to play ball. When two people are present at the same time, Simmons may affect the space on the court.
However, these hidden dangers are only theoretical, and Fultz and Simmons have the opportunity to become a pair of tacit cooperation. First of all, when Simmons holds the ball, does Fultz have the ability to play without it? He shot 42% from fixed-point shots and 48% from blocked shots in a season at Washington University. He can help Simmons open up space. Secondly, both Fultz and Simmons can hold the ball and have strong bodies to set up the cover. The pick-and-roll of these two people is very difficult to prevent. When Fultz holds the ball to pick and roll, Simmons can attack the basket with strong physical quality behind the cover. When Simmons holds the ball, Fultz can cut into the basket, block the ball and shoot. Owen and LeBron James, Stephen Curry and kevin durant have great pick-and-roll power this season, and Fultz and Simmons are expected to be the next invincible pick-and-roll combination.
Health factors prevented 76 people from ruining the east.
The last time the 76ers entered the playoffs was in the 20 1 1- 12 season. In the new season, the 76ers are expected to hit the playoff seats and become the Eastern Conference champions.
On the one hand, the 76ers have accumulated a large number of talented rookies. After Embiid and Simmons come back healthily, plus Fultz, the strength of the 76ers is expected to increase the victory. On the other hand, the objective environment is favorable for the 76ers to return to the playoffs. Bulls that entered the playoffs last season entered reconstruction mode. They have just traded jimmy butler, and may withdraw from the competition for playoff seats in the new season. Pacers are likely to trade paul george and enter the rebuilding mode. The Hawks just sent Dwight Howard away, and it is still unknown whether Paul millsap can stay. Once millsap leaves the team, the Eagle will definitely rebuild. Three seats in the top eight in the East may be vacant, and the 76 ers have a great chance to make up for it.
The biggest problem facing 76 people is health. Embiid and Simmons both have potential injuries. Once the knee of the former and the foot of the latter have problems, the strength of the 76ers will definitely be greatly affected. In the new season, the 76ers have to pray that several cores can keep healthy while practicing their internal skills. They certainly don't want to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.
At the current situation, the 76ers may beat the next Celtic or Buck and enter the Eastern Conference finals. After watching the four games of Cavaliers vs Pacers, the Cavaliers are really weak this year, and I seriously doubt that Cavaliers can kill the judgment of the East!
If you can enter the finals, the 76ers should have no advantage over the Warriors. They fought for the rocket. Let's have a look. It is still unclear whether the Rockets vs Warriors will win or lose.
