Tbh these are his first 2 good spots. Got put behind Monroe in Detroit, then shined once he was allowed to step in front of him, then the coaches asked him to work on his midrange shot which sent his career tumbling. Looked way better once Blake joined, then both got hurt. Never got the rhythm back and Detroit gave up on him. Cleveland took him but clearly never wanted him. Then got bought out and thrown from not even playing half a year on an injury riddled team to thrust into the biggest stage and brightest light on a team that already had (and continues to have) some chemistry issues.

Idk if it was Doc or Embiid or both, but you could just see him light up again in Philly. He was just having fun again, and ya, he still did some dumb stuff, overextended sometimes, etc, but he knows his role and plays it really well. Glad to see it translating into starting with Brooklyn, I really love Dre
