Are the Philadelphia 76ers too young to contend for an NBA title?

There’s one major difference between the Philadelphia 76ers and the rest of the Eastern Conference contenders. The Sixers are an extremely young roster compared to their Eastern conference contemporaries.

Those counterparts include the Milwaukee Bucks, Brooklyn Nets, and arguably the Miami Heat. The Bucks have legit veterans surrounding their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, two out of three “Big Three” on the Nets are over 30 years old, and the Heat just got older with the two key additions of Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker.

The 76ers have more youth than experience when it comes to their contributing rotational players this season.
