Philadelphia 76ers: Give Furkan Korkmaz more time in starting five

This season has proven nothing short of a renaissance for Furkan Korkmaz. The 22-year-old has gone from bench warmer to, as of last Tuesday, starter. The Philadelphia 76ers‘ decision to move Al Horford to the bench came as a mild surprise, though many expected it. Korkmaz was given the starting nod. Brett Brown should extend that opportunity full-time.

At this stage, it’s abundantly clear Horford should remain in a sixth man role. The more time the starting five can play without Horford, the better. The more time Horford can play without the Joel EmbiidBen Simmons duo, the better.
