The Philadelphia 76ers are still in the middle of testing the waters when it comes to lineups and rotations, which is exactly what the preseason is for. Nick Nurse and his staff are still on the lookout for the many possibilities they can unlock with the current roster, and while it is not perfect, it is certainly better than the kind of deck they had last season.
True enough, it seems like the veteran tactician is currently on one of his mad-scientist streaks. First, there was him trying to convert a young big man into a wing defender, and now, it appears that he is leaning into opening games with three-guard lineups right from the get go.
