We are officially at the midpoint of the regular season for the Philadelphia 76ers. At 25-16, the Sixers currently sit at fifth place in the Eastern Conference, five games back of first-place Boston and one game back of Cleveland for fourth.
In this week’s Talking About Podcast, Sean Kennedy is joined by Jackson Frank to discuss where things currently stand for this team. Have the Sixers exceeded, failed to meet, or perfectly aligned with expectations coming into the season?
Then, Jackson provides more of an objective perspective on the Joel Embiid, All-Star starter conversation. In the most recent second round of fan voting, which accounts for 50 percent of the vote, Embiid slipped to fourth in frontcourt voting for the Eastern Conference, behind Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum.
