It’s fair to say the Philadelphia 76ers have underwhelmed this season, although expectations were likely too high to begin with. They have a lot of young talent and new faces, which alone is enough for a losing record in most cases.
Nonetheless, Philly has shown some promise — starting with their core players. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons look like long-term All-Stars, while Robert Covington has earned his extension, regardless of his shooting woes. J.J. Redick, for all his ups and downs, has been worth the one-year flier as well.
