It is no secret that Ben Simmons is not as effective playing at a slow pace. When the fast break is not available, he does not have many other offensive quivers in his bow. We know shooting more than five-feet from the basket is simply not going to happen.
Leading the fast break is not Joel Embiid‘s specialty. As he showed in the All-Star Game (in which coach Nick Nurse had him play the whole fourth quarter), even the top players in the game cannot stop him when he posts up and goes hard to the hoop.
