Over the years, the Philadelphia 76ers have not had a stable power forward to pair next to Joel Embiid. From Dario Saric to Al Horford to PJ Tucker, the team has seen a revolving door of front court partners for the superstar come and go, making the critical spot a question that recurs each and every year. This season is no exception.
Last season, the 76ers seemed to have finally found an ideal starting power forward in Guerschon Yabusele, who ended up being their most consistent player all year long. The Frenchman, after all, injected energy, versatility, and much-needed basketball IQ to the squad without sacrificing any ground on the defensive end of the floor thanks to his hustle and knack for intangibles.
