Preseason basketball has kicked off and, before you know it, the Sixers will take the court to start another season of meaningful basketball to which fans have quickly grown accustomed. The team has a new-and-improved starting lineup and a deeper bench than it has had in years, something that should help come playoff time. With brand new players come brand new roles to adapt to over the course of the season. It won’t happen at the snap of Brett Brown’s fingers, but with the surplus of talent now available, the hope is that things come together quicker than last year.
