On most other teams this kid would be getting 30 mpg and would be a lock for 1st team all-defense and would be in the legit DPOY conversation. His lack of 3pt shooting hurts his value on the Sixers who need reliable spacing around their core, which limits him to just 20 mpg this season, but damn he's special defensively. To think Boston almost stole him from the Sixers in the draft.
