it'll be fun to see how he meshes with embiid and simmons.   Nice young trio there.
In terms of individual talent, it seems that way. But as a front line, as a team, their outside game is looking potentially very suspect. Can all of them play within 10 feet of the basket is the question I would have.
\they added some decent shooting via free agency. Nothing major, but the guys they added should help.
I was talking about the front line mentioned in your post. If none if them can shoot from outside of. 10 feet, philly has trouble.  Let's see how it plays out.
It sounds like Embiid might actually be able to shoot, tho.  Okafor has a mid-range game.

Okafor shot 35% from 10-16 ft and 27% from 16 to 3pt line, so yeah, he actually doesn't.
