Everyone knows the Philadelphia 76ers must make some decisions this offseason. They’re going to #RunItBack with head coach Brett Brown, but the roster must be filled out. The Sixers have decisions to make with Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris, but there’s another important item to work out: backup center.
During the regular season, the on/off numbers for the Sixers when their All-NBA 2nd Team Defensive Center Joel Embiid weren’t great. During the playoffs, they were downright awful at times without Embiid on the floor.
The Sixers played several different backup centers throughout the regular season and playoffs; Amir Johnson, Boban Marjanoviu0107, Jonah Bolden, Greg Monroe, some dude from the West Philly Branch at the YMCA, and our own Kevin Rice all got some minutes at backup center.
