Follow Up -- How we doing with these goals?


1) Brett cracking down on turnovers.

- Surprisingly the thing we have improved on the most on.. turnovers are way down!

2) Ben Simmons making his free throws

- nope... even worse than last year so far

3) Fultz becoming a solid on ball defender.

- again... nope

4) Finding regular minutes for TJ.

- yes.... much to my surprise. Some of this is about Ben being missing from the lineup. but Brett did find time for the guy

5) Finding legit backup minutes for for Embiid

- hahahahahahaha not even close

6) Health

- nothing to be dramatic about but we've already have 3 players that could be in the rotation be hampered... and Ben with back issues isnt anything that anyone wants to hear.

7) Embiid not being a black hole on offense

- with Ben out we had to rely on him more... but only the Boston game was really bad.

8) more players better at more things

- yea its clear the only guy that improved at any skill this offseason was Fultz's shot... and that is as low as "low bars" get.

9) Fultz shooting 3s

- he's averaging one a game... not nearly enough to be considered a threat. hell that's less than holmes last year -- but its a positive step.

My conclusion... this team is not going to take a leap with the current state of play. Granted we do have some hurt guys but I just hear Larry Brown's voice in my head saying "we just have to play better"
