20. Nerlens Noel

Before he was a backup center for the Knicks, Noel was once the No. 6 pick in the 2013 draft by the 76ers. He immediately showed he was a great shot blocker and rebounder, and that has been his calling card ever since. During the 2016-17 season, the 76ers were overloaded at the center position with Embiid, Okafor, and Noel. After a loss to the Lakers that season, where Noel played eight minutes he voiced his displeasure to the media.

"“I’m not an eight-minute player,” Noel would tell reporters. “I think I’m too good to be playing eight minutes.”"

Later that season Noel would be traded to Dallas and after a few years in Oklahoma City, he had found a home in New York. In retrospect, Noel would have been a solid backup center for Emiid had he excepted his role.

19. Wilson Chandler

Chandler is the perfect stretch four in the modern NBA. He can make the 3-point shot, play the three and compete on defense. I have him at 19 because he was traded to the Clippers in the deal that brought Tobias Harris to the 76ers.
