[Aaronson] Wow. Jared McCain sticks in the starting lineup and Kelly Oubre Jr. heads to the bench. Very much what I would have done, especially without Maxey available, but am fairly surprised they’re already doing it.

  10. McCains earned it with his play and quite honestly Kelly’s role on a championship team is probably 6th man at best

    Ideally if this a perfect season they are able to find a more defensively reliable wing for the playoff run in the starting lineup and your bench unit is some combo of

    Lowry
    McCain
    Oubre
    Drummond
    (Insert athletic 3&D wing here)

    EDIT: LOL I COMPLETELY FORGOT YABUSELE EXISTS

  12. Maxey, McCain, PG, Yabusele, Embiid would be a really strong lineup. And Oubre, Martin, Lowry, Drummond, Gordon is a good bench. And they still have the assets to make a mid season trade… on paper, this team could be great but they have to get healthy and get off paper.

  13. I would prefer never to see Oubre and Caleb play together ever again. Can’t have two of them types on the court at the same time.

  14. When fully healthy a think a staggered bench lineup of Embiid, McCain, Oubre should be solid.

    Then Maxey, PG, Martin as the other staggered bench lineup.

    Yabu could fit in either lineup

  15. We’re 2-9. McCain and Yabusele are the only bright spots so far. Why would this be surprising? If we just kept trying the same old shit that would be insane. Honestly would like to see Yabusele instead of Lowry too. That’d be our best 5 so far with Maxey out.

  17. we’re really lucky nurse is willing to experiment and be aggressive. no exaggeration he wouldn’t have started till the end of the season with doc
