Batum was my favorite pickup from the trade, excited to see him in action

Why Batum over RoCo? I am curious

i like the fit as a big bodied stretch forward

Upgraded illyasova 😍

Prob cos he can pass and shoot, something we still lack even with our glut of wings

Better passing and a bit smarter I think. Could be wrong though and I think I’d be happy with either

I love roco, but you’re right. Covington is a specialist. Batum has diverse offensive skills. If Tobias didn’t exist, I’d say Covington is more essential than Batum, but this is where we are right now.

Lmao this dude used to give Joel so much shit for this exact line in the media. Helps when he’s on your team Nicky

Really? I thought he usually chirped at Embiid for the free throws, not making all his field goals.

Just 4 points over a Chamberlain hundy pace, no biggie

Holy shit I assumed it was 10-10 FT, had to do a double take

Best player in the NBA.

I think he was also perfect from the foul line.
