Philadelphia 76ers
Record Prediction: 23-59
There’s no question that the Philadelphia 76ers are going to be better in 2016-17. In fact, they’re going to be much better, on paper at least. Though, with the loss of Ben Simmons I felt I had to knock off about five wins off their total.
This team still lacks a true lead guard and Simmons was supposed to act as the team’s point forward this season. His loss will hurt.
The good news for the Philadelphia 76ers? So far, through a couple games in preseason, Joel Embiid looks like the real deal.
