Two of the more interesting numbers out of preseason to me, re: 76ers
Embiid is averaging 18 FTA/gm, in only 15 mpg. And his teammates are launching 3s like crazy: Saric - 6.5 3ptA in 22 min, Covington - 6.5 3ptA in 22 min, Redick 2.7 3ptA in 22 mpg, Bayless 4.2 3ptA in 21 mpg.

Embiid has been absolutely, unequivocally unstoppable. He's a monster. He's Orlando Magic Shaq with some shooting touch and better passing, mixed with a sprinkle of young Dream. They're obviously going to let him do his work, let Simmons set things up, and then line the 3pt line with shooters. Saric made 47% of his 3s so far, Redick only 88%. Bayless was at 42% and Covington hit nearly 37%. They've even got another Euro rookie, Korkmaz, that is shooting lights out in limited reps.

It is possible that the Sixers are actually going to be the 3rd most interesting offense to watch, after the Warriors and Nuggets? I had the Celtics penciled in at #3, but any time Embiid is on the court Philly is must watch hoops.
