After five and a half hours of live show time on Sunday, we wanted more because it's Yabu

Mania man, so we have to get to it on this Monday, especially after the Sixers pick up their second win of the season. And they no longer have the individual worst record in the NBA. Welcome to the PHAI. That's right. Sixers, take a bow. Sixers podcast here along with Derek Boddner, Kyle Newbeck. I'm Dev Givis, Brianna here. All of you in the chat is Victory Monday.

Not only did the Eagles win a big game, so did the 76s because, man, did they need that one now at 2 and 7.

But returning home, snapping the five game, losing streak, and albeit the Charlotte Hornets,

they just simply needed a win.

And after blowing a 16-point lead

in the fourth quarter, making it harder than it needed to be, they pulled away with the win.

Jared McCain, we talked a lot about him on Sunday after the game. We'll get to him a little bit

later. But Kyle also, since you were in the building, and while we spoke to you briefly after the

game, of course, for your post-game coverage, but in your written content at all p.hly.com, everybody

go check it out. Yabu Sele was also fantastic, and part of the conversation also goes into,

number one, everything that we discussed from the offseason, the uncertainty of it all.

Where would he fit in?

A starting role, potentially for a lot of people, just simply asking he's the only real true power forward on this roster.

But he has been forced to play a lot of the five because of Joel and Bede's absence,

Andre Drummond getting the start.

But since we've gotten going and there are nine games in, there's also this conversation now of, especially since Nick Nurse decided to start him in the second half and bring Andre Drummond off the bench, should his role be a little bit different now going forward?

Well, so one, yes, they need to expand his role, I think has become pretty

clear. And that is for one reason and one reason only, it was the biggest question mark coming

into the year. Can he and will he shoot? Well, so far, he is shooting 43% from three. Whether you believe that's sustainable or not, the fact that he's been able to in nine games,

playing a pretty healthy amount of minutes, about 20, 21 minutes a night and getting up

four threes a game, which in that amount of time, that's good volume for an off ball role player.
