Combined 1-4 from the field, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 fouls. Somehow still a +10. Two points were by Pat Bev. Maxey with a solid first game at point sans Harden with 31/4/8 with 0 turnovers.
Beverley was +6, second best on team after Oubre at +14
Just weird looking at a box score and zeroing in on role players who have specific roles on the team. A role player like Pat Bev can go long periods without getting the opportunity to score. They don’t get plays run for them.
I mean, it’d be egregious if they were out there chucking ill-advised shots when Maxey, Embiid, Harris and Melton were out there.
PJ becoming an absolute zero offensively has become a head scratcher. He remains a good % outside shooter but the volume has absolutely tanked. It’s something that has hurt the Sixers a bit come postseason time. He does provide value with his screens and in being a good ball mover but the volume from 3 has to increase a bit.
