At some point or another over the last five years, you may have heard that the Sixers have a problem with their backup center. This was a problem when Brett Brown was here, as Bryan Colangelo left Brown with a damned-if-you-do-dealer’s-choice of names like Trevor Booker, Amir Johnson, and Jonah Bolden. The Collaborative Front office would turn to Boban Marjanoviu0107 and, notoriously, Greg Monroe, all before getting fed up with hemorrhaging points whenever Joel Embiid sat down and dropped $112M on an aging Al Horford to handle the issue.
Daryl Morey and Doc Rivers have conspired to basically maintain our crummy status quo, shunning promising (in small sample) small-ball arrangements for antiquated traditional (non-switch, non stretch) bigs like Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan, and currently Montrezl Harrell.
