Seth Gupwell spent two years as an online journalist covering culture, lifestyle, and sports in New Zealand, and is now in his first year writing about the Sixers for Liberty Ballers.
Center Joel Embiid and guard Tyrese Maxey are the Philadelphia 76ers’ top two players. In skill and offensive hierarchy, you go through them. That leaves the dirty work, hole filling, play finishing aspects of hooping up to the team’s wings.
