Betting world lmao .
You can’t sit here and tell me that he’s living up to expectations ??
I think some peoples expectations were entirely too high, and those same people just look at his scoring output and don't realize the absolute ELITE playmaking ability that he has brought to the team (even more than Simmons ever provided).
He's averaging 22 PPG (1.6 PPS) with a 61% TS getting to the line 10 times per game on the 76ers while averaging 10+ assists per game. He's not the #1 but he is embracing that because he's not just jacking shots up left and right, he's actually facilitating and running the offense. Embiid, Maxey and Tobias Harris are all shooting better since his arrival.
It also seems like he has another gear that he can turn on when he wants, but right now he's coasting a bit as the playmaker as Embiid is gunning for his scoring title & MVP award. We'll see come playoff time how assertive he is.
