There was little doubt that the play of Boban Marjanovic was one of the keys to success that helped the Philadelphia 76ers win their first round series against the Brooklyn Nets. He was able to spell starting center Joel Embiid and played very well for those stretches.

The two reasons why Marjanovic was so effective against the Nets was due to a big size advantage at 7-foot-3 and the fact that the Nets didn’t have big men that couldn’t stretch the floor.
