The Philadelphia 76ers are banged up, young, and struggling to find success. When Ben Simmons returns to health, look for the team to shuffle it’s lineup.
On one night, the Philadelphia 76ers starting line up was named as point guard Sergio Rodriguez, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, small forward Hollis Thompson, power forward Dario Saric, and center Joel Embiid
Several days later, the team had a new lineup, this time Robert Covington started at small forward.
On another night, due to load restrictions, Jahlil Okafor starts at center. In fact, in just nine games so far this season, the team has already had seven different starters. While that doesn’t seem so outlandish compared to recent years, this was the year where “basketball minds” prevailed.
So the team is a revolving door. Does that change with Ben Simmons return? Well, hopefully not.
