Jerry Stackhouse thinks the Sixers needed some veterans

The value of a veteran presence is one that has been hotly debated in Philadelphia 76ers circles over the last several years. As recently as 2014-15, the Sixers most experienced player throughout the year, Jason Richardson, had 12 years under his belt, with nine rookies and five sophomores seeing playing time that season.

Richardson played fewer than 20 games that season, and the Sixers would win 20 games. The following season, the Sixers would win just 10 games.
