When KD comes back itll be interesting.. But IMO AD is just much more impactful out there and team USA looks better out there everytime AD is playing safety.
Its not a coincidence we put him and AD then only AD out there in clutch time.
Last 2 games have shown why Kerr made it clear Embiid isn't going anywhere. He took a few games to get going, as expected, but looks great now. Hence why he led team USA in pts, reb, and assists vs Germany lol.
AD simply can't replicate what Embiid does on both ends of the floor as a screener, scorer, or playmaker, and he sn't big enough to defend the paint the same way. LeBron is thriving next to Embiid as well.
Embiid, LeBron and Steph have great chemistry with the high screens, dribble hand offs, embiid getting ball high post where he's elite and draws extra attention. When they've been able to involve all 3 in an action it has been some of their best offensive stuff.
