He struggled against Atlanta but he was good last series and has been fine in the playoffs before. Honestly, he's not a PG. Guy really should just work on his post game and operate as a point forward. He's a far better player than McCollum and would be a really nice fit with Lillard.

He's a far better regular season player, yes. He's also a good fit in Portland. He's still a massive liability to a contender the further along you go in the postseason. Saying he was good against the Wizards isn't saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a very good 4. He clearly had some mental blocks this postseason though, which could be a huge issue moving forward.

It's not like he was playing PG and camping on the outside or standing in the corner. He was hanging around in the dunker spot being ignored so they could double Embiid. He was already playing the 4 on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best pick I'm giving is a top 29 protected 1st that turns into a top 55 protected 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ, and I think Simmons would've helped more against Denver. That doesn't really prove a thing. Ben Simmons is a better basketball player. He's only 24. I know we're coming off easily the worst stretch of Simmons career but look at the big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he good against Toronto in 2019 or Boston in 2018? Who cares what a player does against overmatched teams, how about when it is an even series or close to one? He's just not going to be a factor when his team needs to be since he already has a passive mindset to start and then he is even more passive when he is having FT woes. CJ is flawed himself, but I'd take him over Simmons for what Philly needs. CJ isn't a superstar perimeter player but he gives you another option aside from Harris who just can't be relied upon as your go to guy in these big games. Philly can have Embiid, Harris, CJ and soon Maxey as scoring options along with Seth and they will be able to compete much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
