The Philadelphia 76ers’ guard depth has vastly underperformed in recent games.
The Philadelphia 76ers are currently 16-7, good for a 1.5-game stronghold on first place in the East. While there’s still a lot of basketball to be played, the Sixers feel like a legitimate presence atop the standings — thanks in large part to Joel Embiid’s MVP-worthy production.
Despite the strong start, however, Philadelphia is clearly not where it needs to be to win a championship. There’s room left for growth, both organically and via trade.
