Philadelphia 76ers Most Important Players After NBA All-Star Break | Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton
Yo what’s good welcome into the show this is Philadelphia 76ers now I’m Chase CER and as always no matter where you are how you’re tuned in we appreciate you for making Today’s show a part of your day so many content options out there that’s why we’re always
Appreciative that you come on by and you hang out as for what we’re getting into on the docket ranking the most important Sixers after the allstar break as Philadelphia under Nick nurse has this level of excitement around this basketball team looking to finally break that curse and get past the second round
Of the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2001 it is trending toward the end of February and we’re having a February sub battle inside the walls of chat sports with 76ers now and Boston Celtics today earlier in the month we are leading Celtics today now we’ fallen
Behind which channel can pick up the most subscribers here in February extra day because it’s a leap year right now Ali Barefoot host of our Celtics channel is giving me the middle finger Smitty can’t see me because he can never see me he can’t hear me either because he has
Earbuds in let’s kick their ass I’m not playing around F the Celtics F Smitty F Barefoot go Sixers E C Conference standings right now coming out of the All-Star break you look at where Philadelphia is positioned here in that five spot if the season were to end
Right now we’d see a 4 five matchup between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia that would be a very very entertaining first round matchup Boston Celtics it feels as though this might be their year 43 and 12 up to this point number one seed in the East Cavaliers
They’ve been streaking of late 36 and 17 Milwaukee Bucks you know they’re not going to do anything with Glenn Rivers right the ultra excuse maker Nicks there Sixers there four five and then you have the Indiana Pacers Miami Heat Orlando Magic they’ve really freef Fallen Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks
Rounding things out top 10 spots in the East can the Sixers this is really a big talking point and you theorize moving forward get a top four seed you do that you put yourself in a really good position you get homecourt Advantage if it’s the four five
Matchup and if you earn that Five Spot obviously the New York Nick would get that homecourt advantage or you put yourself in that three pole you get that 36 matchup which could be advantageous although Indiana Pacers very dangerous Squad Sixers first 10 games coming out of the break you have the Nicks good
Preview to see how you match up with New York you have the Cavaliers on the back end of that backto back you have a day of rest then you play Milwaukee Patrick Beverly Glenn Rivers how you doing on the road against the B auson Celtics on
The 27th to round out February and then to start March easy game against the Hornets difficult one against the Mavs an easy game against the Nets Grizzlies winnable game against the Pelicans then you play the Knicks once again so those head-to-head matchups against New York obviously going to be very important to
See how you match up with the potential first round opponent I’ve always wanted to see a first round matchup between Philadelphia and New York right up I 995 division Rivals not that divisions really matter in the NBA but important for playoff jockeying too the 76ers coming out of the break have the ninth
Hardest schedule remaining 30 teams in the NBA and it’s going to be a difficult schedule also because Joel embiid is dealing with that knee injury we might not see him until the NBA Playoffs maybe the end of the year hopefully we do see him though we spoke with Dr David sha in
That video that went out the other day you can get an injury update on the embiid front from one of the best in the business the Sixers full strength roster it shapes up to be a pretty good one especially with some of the Acquisitions that they made at the deadline and this
Starts to get the wheels in motion for how you Invision this Sixers roster looking and then the most important Sixers coming out of the break for this stretch run Joel MBI Tyrese Maxi Tobias Harris buddy heeld DeAnthony Melton probably going to be your starting five if in be comes back your role players
Nicholas patum Paul Reed Kyle Lowry campaign as well as Kelly UB Jr so we set the foundation with that and then we ask you this can the Sixers finish with a top four seed with head coach Nick Nur you feel as though it’s possible give me
A y for yes or an N for no most important Sixers we have a tie for that 10th spot and it comes down to two backup point guards in campaign and Lowry I’m interested to see how Nick nurse is going to configure what the backup point guard is going to look like
After Tyrese Maxi Campa Kyle Lowry two different players and between those two we’re not sure who’s going to get more burn who’s going to get more run what we do know is that they’re different players and what we do know is that the Sixers need a competent backup point
Guard by bringing in Kyle Lowry you have an upgrade offensively over Patrick Beverly you take a step back as far as your defensive tenacity but Patrick Beverly was pretty much a zero on the offensive side of the floor Kyle Lowry is an upgrade there and he gives you a
Guy who can shoot the three unlike Beverly 38 and a half% from three he’s not the athlete doesn’t have the speed or the twitch or the explosiveness that campaign gives you campaign gives you those areas but he’s not his playoff season and you don’t trust campaign as
Much as you do Kyle Lowry who’s won an NBA championship who’s played in a lot of high leverage playoff games who’s a little bit more efficient so I think that Kyle Lowry is the better point guard I’d like to see him get some more minutes obviously it’s a cool story line
With him returning to Philadelphia but what do you think who’s a better point guard and who gets more opportunities to get some minutes for the Sixers team KL for Kyle Lowry CP for campaign coming in at number eight is Kelly UB Jr who’s cooled off a little bit since getting
Off to that fast start and a lot of people kind of blew their load a little bit earlier pause with Kelly UB Jr they got overly excited about the impact that he gave this Sixers team and certainly it was great what he was able to do in
The early going but there’s a reason why Kelly UB Jr went unsigned there’s a reason why no teams really gave him all that much money and there’s a reason why the sample size and the stock has gone down the last couple of years with golden state with
Charlotte he is what he is he’s a good rotation player he’s too inefficient with Kelly U’s going to be really good one night really bad the other and for him you’re just asking him to be efficient and to pick his spots to not overdo it the numbers up to this
Point not bad but when I talk about him just kind of going down as far as the and him cooling off his three-point number is down to 32% and that’s really where the career average is about especially over the last couple of Seasons 14 points per game good
Athleticism he can get to the cup he can defend 46% from the floor you’ll certainly take that from a reserve but just not efficient enough to be a starter and make some head scratching mistakes too when he’s in that starting lineup more important Sixers as we rank

Paul straight out the mud Paul Reed and I think he could play a more important role down the stretch for Philadelphia here and I like how he’s really come into his own since Joel embiid got hurt very important stretch for him as well as his impact on this Sixers team for as
Long as embiid’s out Paul Reed must continue to improve and separate himself as one of the top backup bigs in the NBA because he certainly paid like it right up to this point six and a half points per game this year five and a half rebounds very active on both sides of
The floor can alter shots and effect shots at The Rim can throw down some dunks off the two-man game and the alley oops has a little bit of a mid-range occasionally we’ll take a three-point shot giving you about a block per night bball Paul I’m rooting for you I’m a big
Fan I want to continue to see him Ascend as one of the better backup bigs in the association buddy heel checking in at number six and I really like what he’s been able to do since the Sixers traded for him at the trade deadline he’s been
In Fuego he’s been hot from long range and we know his job shoot that basketball man and the Sixers are going to need it come play play off time if they can have a reliable three-point shooter who can be a sniper from deep and Joel embiid comes
Back imagine how much easier he’s job is going to be with embiid on the floor what do I mean by that more open looks with the Sixers here buddy heeld has been phenomenal 22 points per game seven and a half assists as his playmaking and creating skills for himself and others
Has surprised 50 2% from the floor 45% from downtown that number naturally probably going to go down but if embiid comes back he can easily be at 45% In that clip he’s also playing for a new contract wouldn’t hate seeing him around in Philadelphia for a long time because
He is a good on court pairing with your lmb number five Nicholas patum two-way impa impact player for Philadelphia here and Batum is another player who I think a lot of people have been pleasantly surprised with he can be that glue guy and glue guys are really really
Important for a playoff run because he does a little bit of everything floor stretcher quick release not afraid to defend on that low block and for the Sixers here his numbers have cooled just a bit but a very efficient six points per game four rebounds two plus assists
This is a player who you want in the trenches you want in the Foxhole a battle tested player who’s played in a lot of big games inter interally a lot of big games at the NBA level some might say that Tobias Harris should be more important than at number four but I
Think the acquisition of Buddy hee absorbs the impact of Tobias Harris a little bit if he were to have a clunker we say it year in and year out though the pressure is always on Tobias Harris he’s the X Factor he plays really well that could literally be the difference
Between the Sixers making it to the finals and then being ousted in the first round if they play a team like Indiana or a very very solid New York Knicks team at this point I don’t need Tobias Harris to be great just don’t be the reason they lose games and don’t be
The reason that they get sent home packing in the first round which would be awful for a team that’s had a lot of playoff success as far as winning in round one having an opportunity in round two Toby this year he’s been solid right three-point numbers aren’t all that good
I think he’s pressed a little bit with it being a contract year sub 35% not ideal 51% pretty good has the mid-range game working almost 18 points per game at number three DeAnthony Melton Chase he’s way too high why do you have DeAnthony Melton there combo guard plays
Well on both ends can be a lock down Defender is he going to be a starter is he going to be a reserve biggest X Factor come playoff time because if he plays like he’s capable of playing DeAnthony Melton is a really impact player in this league why can’t Melton be Philadelphia’s Derek
White I love that note and I love that thought from myself and producer Jake chipper why can’t he be Philadelphia’s Derek white you see how Derek white moves the needle in big time pressure cooker moments for Boston DeAnthony Melton is that type of player and this
Is a player that I would also like to be a part of this core because he’s a dog and he can really make an impact on both ends of the floor a high IQ player too who we saw in TD Garden last year in that second round series between Philly
And Boston not scared of the moment number two tyres Maxi and he’s cooled off a little bit hasn’t necessarily been a star since Joel lambid has gone out but we know that Tyrese Maxi has that in him in the All-Star Game it was good to see him get that recognition a great
Playoff run would cement Tyrese Maxi as one of the top guards in the NBA he’s already one of the top young guards in the NBA when you’re an Allstar you’re one of the top guards in the NBA overall but he can really cement himself as a superstar in this league the numbers
This year have been awesome and you look at the figures here almost 26 points per game we talked about him taking that Jamal Murray type of leap we’re witnessing that right now six assists primary ball handler the Distributing skills I think have been awesome 45% from the floor 38% from three he he’s
Sub 40% which is a little bit of a surprise but more volume here so of course context is important and then lastly checking in at number one it’s the big man it’s the reigning MVP Joel em beat is he going to be able to come
Back when he does come back what type of shape will he be in what type of player will he be if em is out the Sixers literally have no chance and you can chalk it up as Philadelphia probably being bounced in round one not having an opportunity in round two you could mess
Around you could flirt around with the second round exit but you’re not going to make a deep playoff run without Joel embiid up until his injury it looked as though he was going to win back-to-back MVPs if embiid is at his MVP level in the playoffs the Sixers have a chance
Against anybody because he’s that good he’s that special Bonafide Superstar as Stephen A Smith would say and the numbers this year it’s a it’s a shame that embiid got hurt because look at these numbers man before embiid went down with that knee injury we were seeing one of the most special Seasons
Among any player in recent NBA memory 35 points per game at seven feet 11 rebounds the assist numbers went up in Nick nurse’s system he wasn’t getting as flustered when he was hit with some of those double teams and pestered in the corner 53.3% impressive with the volume there
And again for a 7-footer to connect on 37% of his three-pointers and then to be as automatic as he is at the free throw line it’s just one of one stuff so with that we ask you this who is the most important sixer for the rest of this
Year the health of embiid is the most important Tyrese Maxi’s impact is the most important to me let us know join the conversation don’t forget to subscribe we’ll catch you next time here on 76ers now

Who is the most important Sixer the rest of the year?
Y
KL 100%
The
No defense they won't make it too the 2 round , Kyle is washed
Good luck
Y
LETS GO SIXERS
Lmao 🤣 😂😅 They are going to the championship 😂 🤣 😭 watch! This is how 🤔 things work!! When we are first or in the top 3 we lose 😮 I like our chances as the underdogs 😊
I think the better backup PG is KL, however that’s with limited minutes. I think CP should play more minutes. I totally agree have Oubre come off the bench doesn’t play consistently enough to start. If Embiid comes back we should be find as long as they can hold the fort down.
Bazeley is going to do better than Reed😂😅😮😢
That Darius Bazley signing is underrated. Tall athletic wing defender with some shooting ability, and he’s young
No melton is not derrick white level he's good but not clutch like baldy i hate that guy😅 and you have melton too high that spot should have gone to heild new dude we picked up sounds like a solid choice we might have our tatum/ brown defensive weapon
He's production is good not terrible 😂😂😂he playing lol like bench guy… EARLY in the season y'all got hype…
council over payne…oubre will start ovr melton bro
"KL"
Let's go Sixers, Let's go Maxey, All star❤❤ Win Win Win 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤
This guy says some of the most delusional stuff. Melton is a horrible decision maker. He's a streaky shooter who can kill you. Melton was one the reason we loss to boston especially in game 6, bricking wide open shots. Melton is a backup.
Y
Kelly is still the best athlete on the tm. And for all his flaws. His athleticism and length sticks out like a soar thumb on this tm
YES
I just paused the video to type this… I've just unsubscribed and left, because I'm sick of all the BS you put up, I could give zero butt nuggets about how many subscribers you get compared to Celtics YouTube channel.
The lineup with Embiid coming back should be maxey, hield, oubre, or Batum and Tobias with Embiid to and a lil bit more size and shooting having Melton starting makes them too small they have to rebound the ball better and need more length
And yes they can most definitely get the 4 spot just have to rebound the ball better as a unit
