How should Brett Brown balance youth and winning?

In general, the Philadelphia 76ers are a young team. Their three best players — Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Dario Saric — are all 23 or younger, which makes their recent success even more impressive.

This season, however, has presented Brett Brown with a new luxury: veterans in the rotation. Amir Johnson and Trevor Booker have diminished Richaun Holmes‘ role, while Jerryd Bayless spent most of the season as one of Brown’s go-to reserves on the perimeter.

For a team that is finally capable of competing, relying on veterans isn’t bad.
