Joel embiid he remains out after undergoing a miniscus procedure earlier this week the Sixers they have hoped that he can return to the court this season now Philly was a buyer at the deadline they made a deal to bring buddy heeld in help their offense a little bit

Here so take a look at the standings the Sixers they have lost seven of their last eight games they dropped to fifth in the Eastern Conference so Chan gum what are they getting with Buddy hee added to the lineup because when Joel beid fingers crossed soon gets help

If they’re all out there and you add Buddy heeled now we’re talking about another Contender to talk about the Celtics and also the Knicks why is Buddy heeld so important so integral to the Sixers look at this 825 catch and shoot three-pointers he’s had the most in the

NBA in this time why is this a need that had to be addressed because the Sixers are 27th in three-point field goal percentage this season so he is going to help that number be way more tenable I’ll show you exactly why I love this because Nick nurse has upped the pace in

Philly watch this right here buddy heeled as a play goes I want to show you exactly where he is he’s that guy right in the middle all right watch him Sprint head down sprinting down the floor pace is fast in Philly and what does he do here also in transition I love this

Great Shooters make themselves available look at him calling for the ball hey I’m over here that’s what Maxi’s going to see especially as a guy who is called on to play point guard Maxi is going to see that hand raise up and guess what going

He’s also going to see that shot go down you got to love this and again like what I what I love about buddy heeld it’s not just like simple standand in the corner and that type of stuff he’s ready to make his own shot with these steps I

Mean where is he on this play right here he’s on the outside his eye is on the ball the defense how many people are in front of them they have an advantage how many one two three Defenders but they have to look at the shooter the shooter

Is coming I mean this guy leads the league in assist but he’s able to knock it it down because he has eyes on the ball eyes on the point guard you can only imagine Tyrese Maxi wheeling and dealing Jordan beid attacking the paint and now they throw it left they throw it

Right to the guy who has made the most catch and shoot threes this is a long game play I know it might hurt today but in the future they’re going to be winning because of guys like this I thought you were going to said you said

Hold up wait a minute I thought you were I was finished that’s what Phil feel right now the Philadelphia 76ers they’re back in action against the Atlanta Hawks tomorrow we’ll see if Buddy we got to the [Applause] Show
