Here’s new Philadelphia 76er Paul George on why the pick-and-roll game of Tyrese Maxey & Joel Embiid is so effective.

(via Austin Krell):

“You can’t switch. Maxey’s probably top three fastest player in the league, quickest player in the league. Joel’s probably top one most physical big guy in the league. And so, it’s an interesting dynamic of right off the bat, those two in pick-and-rolls, something’s got to give. There’s going to be help and guys have to commit in some way, and so with that, it just creates a bunch of opportunities for everyone else involved around the pick-and-roll. But yeah, it’s effective, you put those guys in the pick-and-roll.”
