The Philadelphia 76ers will largely parade the same roster next season, but almost everyone has already penciled them in as a riser in the upcoming campaign. But to be frank, that is only because things are probably not going to get any worse for the franchise when it comes to injuries, which was the primary reason behind their drastic decline last season en route to a lottery finish.
If the squad fails to turn in an acceptable finish next season, the front office has to seriously consider going after a complete roster makeover. Two of the team’s All-Star players, Joel Embiid and Paul George, are both on the wrong side of 30 and are also among the biggest injury risks in the entire association.
