not insane, just super-sane

this is perfectly representation of what i been arguing for with Maxey-McCain lineups, specifically with Joel Embiid these are your best 3 offensive weapons, involving your 2 best shooters, but everyone is so dynamic it fundamentally makes offense broken Maxey shooting + penetration on left side, even reggie miller commentating points out how much space Maxey created off that drive, he then kicks it to Embiid Embiid as a hub here can act as a scorer or playmaker, from the very middle of the floor, he had the 3PT shot there, or coulda even forced it in the middle, does extra pass to McCain (note that Maxey n McCain are BOTH simultaneously one pass away, defense doesn't know who's getting it) pass to McCain, who no matter what he's shooting ALWAYS draws a hard closeout, that closeout was so hard due to his spacing gravity that he then unlocks the drive, and he's such a strong finisher he draws the defense with gravity LITERALLY just how Maxey did to start off the play kicks to Embiid, process is now backwards, who again has BOTH shot + drive into middy with a smaller defender, kicks it ONE MORE to Maxey, who hits the 3 either McCain or Maxey both penetration + kick + shooting threats PG in one corner for spacing Barlow in one corner for cutting beautiful play, coming from most likely our most potent offensive lineup. VJ can slot into the McCain/Maxey/PG/Barlow role as well, although his self creation is a little weaker than McCain/Maxey, i'd rather him act in the PG/Barlow role deff not a set play that Nurse runs too, he doesn't have this creativity. this shit was prolly lowry when they saw they was on the lineup together all in all, it perfectly showcases why McCain-Maxey is such an elite offensive duo, that we need more of. as i've been saying since LAST YEAR.
