Daily News | The Sixers have been impressed with Joel Embiid’s vocal leadership: ‘It’s great for us’
Every time the 76ers walk onto the court, they almost certainly have the best player in Joel Embiid — the type of elite talent that can be too much for opponents to handle.“I feel the leadership coming from Joel has been on another level this year,” third-year guard Tyrese Maxey said after Wednesday’s practice. “... He’s raised his level of play, so we will have to raise ours. That’s our best player.
“That was actually said in one of my timeouts the other night that, ‘You have to say it. You have to do’ … It’s not a natural thing, no. But he’s doing it and it’s been great for us.” “He’s trusted us as far as when he gets double- and triple-teamed,” Maxey said. “He’s passing out of doubles quick. He’s getting us open shots. He wants us to be successful and he continues to do it even when we are missing shots. So I think that’s just showing his leadership and growth as a player.”Rivers gives the impression that Embiid and James Harden should be attempting more free throws in the first-round series.
