[Aaronson] Nick Nurse says he wants to see Joel Embiid handling the ball a lot tonight. Defensively, he says he’s going to ask Embiid to do some things he hasn’t done (usually or at all)

>Nick Nurse says Furkan Korkmaz and Danuel House Jr. will see a lot of minutes tonight and that Joel Embiid will play. Sounds like a few of the veterans could be limited in minutes.
>Nurse says the key is seeing where Korkmaz and House are defensively, and that how a player understands the defensive scheme is an important factor in deciding positional battles
>**Nick Nurse says “lots of thought” has gone into preparing the Sixers to begin the season without James Harden**
Well, nick nurse is open to seeing new things that’s the important part here, while I don’t love the sound of embiid with the ball in his hands, that’s only because he wasn’t put into a proper scheme.
Possibly embiid in the nurse system looks different than what we’re used to when we think embiid dribbling.
Even the idea of korkmaz and house seeing tons of minutes, kork has always been much better in the international team of his because there’s a system maybe that can be applied here.
Finally! A coach that puts in a lot of thought
FUCK……………………i’m back in.
