Philadelphia 76ers

Biggest Hole: Backcourt 

Despite their logjam in the frontcourt with Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid (assuming he’s healthy), Nerlens Noel, Dario Saric and Ben Simmons in the rotation as of now, I don’t think anyone is questioning the team’s talent in that area.

Even if they decide to move one of their frontcourt players, they appear set in that department. The backcourt, however, is an entirely different story. It’s the weakness of the team, and it’s not even close.

Philly is projecting to start T.J. McConnell or Jerryd Bayless and Gerald Henderson at the 1 and 2 positions at the moment. Yea…that won’t work. Maybe the Sixers have a plan and will move one of their frontcourt players for a point guard or a quality two-guard. Either way, until then, this team will be held back by the lack of talent from their guard position.
