Our bench is holding their own. They may not score many points, but their opponents can’t score neither
The problem is, our bench play second fewest total minutes. The only team behind us plays two less games.
Getting Oubre and Batum back should help to keep starters’ minutes down. And hopefully we can address this issue with trades
Reed has been great at stalling and causing chaos since last year. Springer shows that same drive. The idea is for Reed to chew up 6 minutes in the 2nd and 4th quarters with the least possible negative change in score, and they eat up the minutes very well. Creating loose ball scrambles, blocks, steals, all that eats up clock without moving the meter much, and gets Embiid time on the bench.
