Philadelphia 76ers still have issues at the point guard depth chart

Last offseason, I wrote about how the Philadelphia 76ers had questionable center depth behind Joel Embiid. General manager Elton Brand corrected that mistake by signing quality depth, but he failed to build legit point guard depth behind Ben Simmons.

Playmaking depth was a problem last season. Markelle Fultz never lived up to his draft hype as a number one overall pick before he went down with injury and was traded. T.J. McConnell was a great energy guy off the bench, but his limitations on both sides of the ball as a floor spacer and defender made it hard for him to stay on the court for long spurts.
