Philadelphia 76ers: Who benefits most during Joel Embiid’s absence?

Joel Embiid‘s injury to his left ring finger is the most recent reason that the Philadelphia 76ers starting five cannot play together and improve chemistry. The Sixers play two different styles of play when Embiid is in the lineup versus when he is out. A number of teammates can benefit and grow during his absence, but I believe the biggest beneficiary will be Tobias Harris.

Its no secret that the Sixers’ pace of play picks up when Embiid is on the bench. Ben Simmons is able to run more fast breaks without being concerned about running Embiid out of the play.
