Starters On The Bench

One of the most difficult aspects of the Philadelphia 76ers last season was the absence of true starters on the team. While you could argue about the center position, no other position was filled with NBA starting caliber talent last season. Some players held their own, some impressed, and some disappointed. But all gained valuable experience.

The essence of a championship team in synchronizing the best players possible.  Have the Philadelphia 76ers done so?  Time will tell, but at this moment it appears to be very optimistic.

While the team will see a surge in quality among the starters this season, an even greater gain will be felt at the Sixer’s bench.  At each position, there will be several players who could start the season.  When Brett Brown rotates his players (and you know he loves to rotate players), the tempo will remain fast, the spacing will remain intact, and the passing will remain accurate.

This is an important season for the team.  Improve, and the momentum will bring better talent their way. Remain idle, and the window of getting better will close.

The Philadelphia 76ers, much like other professional sports teams in Philadelphia, are due to find more success this season.  How much more remains to be seen.  But the city will get its first taste of a basketball team on the rise.
