A total of 53 players took the court for the 76ers the past three seasons, and the temptation was simply to begin by listing them all, from Darius Johnson-Odom to Alexey Shved, from Sonny Weems to Jarvis Varnado, from Furkan Aldemir to Casper Ware.
It's quite a list, breathtaking in its own way, and illustrative of the roster madness that overtook the organization while Sam Hinkie played the ultimate long game, endlessly pushing pawns across the board with no real hope any would reach the far side.
One player, swingman Hollis Thompson, endured the entire three-year ride.
