Here are some non-James Harden topics entering Sixers training camp — one for every player on the roster.
The 76ers’ 2023-24 season unofficially begins Monday, when the team holds its annual Media Day before departing for training camp in Fort Collins, Colo.
How does one follow that up? That will depend on how Nurse utilizes Embiid on both ends of the floor.Embiid has expanded his offensive game in recent seasons, moving from getting the ball in the low post to operating more from the elbow and nail in the middle of the floor. He has worked on creating shots for himself off the dribble, and playmaking for his teammates.
Yet the 22-year-old’s continued ascension will be even more vital for the Sixers if Harden holds out or is traded, and Maxey becomes the lead guard. The team and Maxey are certainly preparing for that possibility during informal team workouts and pick-up games before camp begins.Maxey already accompanies his shot-making with incredible speed with the ball in his hands. But he must develop more as a playmaker, both in the pick and roll and explosive drives into the paint.
If Harden is no longer in the picture, Melton becomes part of a by-committee backup point guard group. It’s a position where he is competent, though has limitations as a distributor, finisher and ballhandler. Bamba considers Embiid a mentor, and observing the reigning MVP’s everyday habits — and matching up against him in practice — should prove valuable.House spent large chunks of last season out of the rotation, while Matisse Thybulle and then Jalen McDaniels got most of the minutes at that position.
It’s likely time to give Springer a legitimate segment of regular-season run. He has a team option for 2024-25, which the Sixers must pick up by Halloween.Green is back in Philly, where he played from 2020-22 before sustaining a gruesome knee injury that kept him sidelined for much of last season.
