Philadelphia 76ers Player Grades
Starters
Tyrese Maxey
Maxey had 28 points and 9 assists but the 4 turnovers hurt in a close game. He shot well from three but couldn't quite get the Sixers over the hump.
VJ Edgecombe
VJ had 15 points and competed hard but shot just 38% from the field. He did the little things but wasn't efficient enough offensively.
Joel Embiid
Embiid struggled mightily shooting just 19% from the field and 0-for-6 from three. At least he was perfect from the line with 8 makes, but this was a rough offensive performance.
Dominick Barlow
Barlow shot just 29% from the field with 7 points. Not much production in this one.
Paul George
George had 12 points but shot just 37.5% from the field. He was perfect from the line but couldn't provide enough scoring punch.
Bench
Andre Drummond
Drummond had a double-double with 11 points and 12 boards including 8 offensive rebounds. The rebounding was great but he shot just 45% and the team was minus-15 with him on the court.
Quentin Grimes
Grimes shot poorly at 29% from the field and just 1-for-6 from three. He grabbed 8 boards but couldn't get his shot to fall.
Jared McCain
McCain had 8 points in limited minutes. Not a bad showing but not enough time to make a real impact.
Jabari Walker
Walker shot just 25% from the field with 4 points. Minimal offensive contribution.
