when we talk about this Ben Simmons performance last night.

It's called historic because of certain caveats in there.

Yeah, and he's been absolutely incredible without Joe Joel Embiid.

And you can see why the Sixers organization always stresses about the fit with their two best players.

What strikes me, Trey is there's this incredible at times, level of negativity around Ben Simmons and his unwillingness to shoot three point shot, and it will eventually pinch them.

But we do not give this young man enough credit for what he is absolutely elite at, and that's a ton of things.

He has been performing at a first team all NBA defensive level all season.

6 10 Congar did one through five without Joel, a times he's having to guard the centers, you know, in cross matches at times, just t get out of a bad switch.

Whatever the case may be, he's got elite speed and M and and his ability to put pressure at the rim.

They can post him against almost anybody.

He can finish left and right, and in this stretch without Joel, where they absolutely had to win games.

And I know you know some of the competition in the win streak is teams below 500 but you gotta win the games in front of you.

And Ben Simmons is a driving force behind what they're doing right now.

I guess it's a compliment to him in a way, Doors, because talking about him with with other greats LeBron James was talked about earlier his career.

Well, he's doing this really great, but he needs to improve on this.

Oh, he's doing there is great, but he needs to improve on this and he went out and he did that.

And I guess that's what everybody's waiting to see.

But there are things you need to improve upon me, and we haven't seen any of that yet.

It's totally fair, and I wonder about this is a 23 year old young man who was given a Max contract who has been named an All Star and will be again this year and in his mind.

He knows what he's great out, and he can affect winning in a lot of ways.

Where this will show and what ultimately will motivate him is he'll get exposed against the best.

Defense is probably after the first round of the playoffs, or maybe before, and that is what's going to spur him to change things because he has not taken a three point attempt in over a month.

And this was after Brett Brown had said to him, You can tell his agent You can tell his family tell his girlfriend, Tell whomever I wanted at least 13 point attempt per game, so I don't There's something there and I don't know what it is and it's not, You know, it's not going to really come into sharp focus until the postseason when you get the elite defense.

Talking to Doris Burger, ESPN MBA analyst, going beyond the call for six years at Raptors.

Wednesday, seven Eastern on ESPN and just one more getting into the Sixers.

You mentioned this all happening without joy, oil and bead.

We know how much Joel Embiid is meant to this team, but is there anything to read into with this?

Or is it just him stepping up with a guy out?

It's that and there is nothing to look into it.

Because if you look historically over there, their time with Joel Embiid, he's to me.

He has the potential to be the best local center in the league.

He's got face of game there, on and off numbers defensively without him.

Typically, um, we really show you how important he is.

I am in No A suggesting you don't need Joel Embiid.

This is a guy in Ben Simmons who's helped buoy them in a tough stretch.

It doesn't change the fact that they're still you know, that static or excuse me, that dynamic boy.

Because that question Israel Doris Burke with us, they clearly need Joel Embiid, and the MBA clearly needs something, and that something is coming Tomorrow.

A Zion Williamson makes his debut for the pelicans again.

I guess the question I have for you is we're talking about this debut in ways that we sort of talked about the debut of a guy named LeBron James a few years ago.

What are realistic expectations for him as he begins his NB a career boy.

That is a great question because I heard Jeff Van Gundy say That's early in the season about Zion and it really struck me.

We were just out of the gates and just Jeff made the statement.

You know, Zion Williamson has the potential and in all likelihood, has saved basketball and the organization in the world.

It was blown away by it, but that is the power of the draw of this young man, despite his tender age.

And there is just something so compelling about his athleticism, his basketball skill and his personality.

And when you talk to him when you listen to him, uh, it's it's really exciting.

And what I'm really curious about is to see how long they plan is.

It 456 minutes stretches how effective any be in those in those runs.

In the preseason, he was absolutely dominant, and on a team that's really seemed to find itself, he gives him exactly what they need.

And now you have somebody with with elite athleticism who can put pressure on the rim and give Lonzo ball, who's played tremendously?

Everybody's so looking forward to it, No doubt about it.

Last night, the Lakers in Boston gets shelled by 32.

Is it just a Hey, it happens every now and then, or is there any worry there for you?

I think you had a Boston team that has really been struggling that was desperate for a win.

They got an incredible second quarter performance from from Jason Tatum, he continues to show us what he's capable of.

Their three best players played great, and the one thing I'm worried about long term for the Lakers.

The one thing I feel like they need is elite shot making, three point shooting.
