The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in a precarious position due to the criminal mismanagement of resources in the front office. Al Horford has eaten a significant chunk of the Sixers’ cash-strapped budget, and the future feels more uncertain than it should for a team with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
It has become critically important for the Sixers to find real value in the NBA Draft. While the 2020 rookie class doesn’t project as the strongest, there are plenty of appealing prospects to be had. If the Sixers decide to condense resources and trade up, the result could be a functional piece of a contending rotation.
