Sixers: Five backup center options for 2021

Ah yes, the backup center position. A spot on the Philadelphia 76ers roster that has monumentally held the team back in recent years. Whether it was Greg Monroe starting a playoff game or Mike Scott having to act as a “small ball five”, it’s pretty safe to say the Sixers desperately need to find a long term solution to the position.
