It seems like yesterday that the Sixers were primed for a huge postseason run, capturing the first seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time in 20 years. It was one of the best iterations we’ve seen of the Ben Simmons-Joel Embiid era Sixers, with coveted shooters in Seth Curry and Danny Green joining the roster.
While the 2020-21 Sixers were a solid team, they weren’t flawless. They had a few holes in their roster, some of them being bigger than others. While the Sixers had a quality defensive big in Dwight Howard, he wasn’t a shooter (on most nights at least).
