The NBA’s return in Orlando will show how much trust Brett Brown has vested in the Philadelphia 76ers’ youth.

Earlier this season, a surprising development struck the Philadelphia 76ers rotation. Brett Brown, known for his stubbornness as a head coach, pivoted away from the Sixers’ veterans in favor of younger wings in the second unit. It was the rise of Matisse Thybulle and Furkan Korkmaz.

Rather than sit idle and allow James Ennis to occupy a similar role to last season, Brown actively changed the rotation to prioritize his younger pieces.
