Lack of bench depth has always been a glaring issue for the Philadelphia 76ers. The roster needs more, and that is obvious.
The issue was evident more than ever in the team’s loss to the Phoenix Suns Saturday, where the Sixers’ bench was outscored by Phoenix’s bench 49-20. That is an astronomically big difference.
The Sixers need an extra scoring punch from somewhere. It can’t just be the Embiid show all season long. It always plays out with Embiid being absolutely gassed come playoff time due to carrying the load for the Sixers.
