I never liked that situation. Honestly doesn’t even look good on paper to me. That mix just too many different styles of play. Bron/embid, brown, maxey/vj are all separate styles and this should be catered to maxey forreal. Love Embid but if they had an athletic big that could run, block shots and was a lob threat, they would be a lot better. Not even star
Sixers additions slows the game down for them when Maxey and vj are great in a faster pace. They sacrificed the strength of their start to add other “star power” but now they have to play too many different ways. Unless Embid is playing af the highest level this won’t work long term
Jeff Teague says nobody on the Sixers can say anything to Tyrese Maxey about not moving the ball, because he moves so quickly up and down the court and gets buckets that they can't say a anything. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have a system in place where you've got Paul George looking like a max player."
He’s in good company. I remember this game, had to get my payback from @imanshumpert almost getting a quadruple double on us the game before when we played them at gt 😂
Ben Hammond had 32 points, five rebounds, four assists and made 11 free throws vs. Iowa.
Since joining ACC in 2004, #Hokies players with that stat line:
• Nov. 10, 2026, vs. Iowa: Hammond
• Feb. 13. 2011, vs. Georgia Tech: Malcolm Delaney (33p, 6r, 5a, 12ft)
That's the list.
Virginia Tech's backcourt went OFF in an upset win over Iowa 🦃

The Hokies look tough 😤
@daplayboi Yea idk. Could be anything. I don’t think it’s the #1 spot battle as much as people think. But idk, just seems like it’s bigger than just basketball.
