The Philadelphia 76ers were supposed to have a hole at power forward this season. In the season opener they instead had a breakout performance from Dominick Barlow, a free agent signing that may be changing everything for the franchise this season.
For years, the Philadelphia 76ers have struggled with two things: health, and who to put next to Joel Embiid in the frontcourt. They have cycled through the terrible fit of Al Horford, a financial overcommitment to Tobias Harris, and the uncertainty of what position Ben Simmons actually plays.
Last season, the 76ers seemed to have found something in French forward Guerschon Yabusele, but injuries zapped the team of any hopes of winning games and they pivoted into tanking to keep their draft pick.
