Last season, the Philadelphia 76ers emerged as a bona fide championship contender. Thanks to the efforts of Most Valuable Player Joel Embiid, perennial All-Star James Harden, and budding star Tyrese Maxey, the team rose through the ranks and should continue to be a top threat next season despite the current instability brought by player movement threats.
That being said, PJ Tucker was also a big reason behind Philly’s jump last season. Brought in as a free agent after a one-year stint in Miami, the veteran forward was quickly slotted in as the starting power forward and spearheaded the defense in his own capacity.
