The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the best and most well-rounded backcourt rotations in the NBA. Between Tyrese Maxey, who has been playing like a candidate for Most Valuable Player; VJ Edgecombe, who is in the running for the Rookie of the Year award; Quentin Grimes, who has arguably been the best Sixth Man in the league so far; and Jared McCain, who had just returned from injury, the backcourt is probably the least of this squad’s problems.
Almost out of necessity, the 76ers have gone away from their previous dynamic of having their scoring attack revolve around the individual brilliance and sheer dominance of Joel Embiid.
