Most PPG by quarter this season: 1st — Embiid (10.3) 2nd — Maxey (9.5) 3rd — Embiid (12.4) 4th — LeBron (9.2)
Embiid is averaging 31.9 ppg in 34.1 mpg. Maxey is averaging 26.8 ppg in 38.1 mpg. Lebron is averaging 26.4 ppg in 34.4 mpg.
Very interesting rotations from Nurse to basically play Embiid the entire 1st and 3rd quarter. Maxey is good enough to carry in the 4th so a lot of times Embiid just sits out the entire 4th lol.
If you told me this was the rotation before the season started I’d be very skeptical but this is somehow pretty genius. It should get Embiid into top conditioning for the playoffs while not playing him too many minutes.
Makes sense that the guy that schemes against Embiid the best also knows how to use him the best lol.
