About a week ago, my friend David Esser wrote a piece highlighting the Ben Simmons’ injury. In this article, David questioned if Alec Burks could help fill the void that was being created due to Simmons not playing. As Dave also notes, “Burks has really struggled to land a solidified role with the Sixers since being acquired at the trade deadline via the Golden State Warriors. He’s been used off the ball as a floor spacer, on the ball as a point guard, and occasionally he’s seen himself outright benched for the likes of Raul Neto.
