The Philadelphia 76ers have done a great job finding and developing young talent in recent years, but that has not been anywhere near their calling card back when Doc Rivers was still the one manning the sidelines for the team. At that time, the roster still featured Ben Simmons as the co-star of Joel Embiid until he was traded for James Harden, who only had a brief stint with the franchise.
Another feature of those Rivers-coached squads was their propensity for veteran players. Aside from those have already entrenched themselves as clear-cut up-and-comers, the 76ers did not invest much on developing unknown commodities.
