What legit bigs in Detroit? Duren was out. Paul Reed?

Paul Reed has played like a beast lately hasn't he? The guy has done little his entire career but the last two games he looked like an all-star. LOL. Against the Bulls a couple games ago Paul Reed had 28 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and a block on 11-13 shooting. I was like, "Who is this guy?!"

Embiid last 5 games:

34 PTS - 10 REB - 8 AST
31 PTS - 5 REB - 1 AST
27 PTS - 6 REB - 4 AST
22 PTS - 14 REB - 2 BLK
39 PTS - 9 REB - 3 AST

Getting back to form 😎

embiid is a liability in the 4th quarter, he looks like he is about to die once he hits 25 minutes

Embiids contract is so bad due to his injuries and availability that the 76ers would have to fork over some good assets if they wanted to dump him

Averaging 23/7/3 in just 27 minutes per game this season. Pretty much doing Embiid things when he's on the floor.

Been dropping 30+ most nights since the minutes restriction was lifted.

And best of all? Embiid isn't even the centerpiece anymore. He doesn't need to carry like he used to. Maxey and VJ are the future and could very well be the best backcourt in the game soon enough.

Last 6 games: 29/8/4 on 33 minutes per game
