Now I am not second guessing head coach Brett Brown for a minute. But I am second guessing the roster. As of tonight, the Philadelphia 76ers will finish their 49th game.
2017 free agents from the Philadelphia 76ers include Ersan Ilyasova, Nerlens Noel, Sergio Rodriguez, and Gerald Henderson if the team does not pick up his option for a second year.
Ilyasova played 45 games, as he was an Oklahoma City Thunder power forward early in the year.
Henderson has appeared in 45 games. Noel has played in 22. Rodriguez has played in 43 games. With the exception of Noel and Ilyasova, the teams success has come when veterans were relegated to the bench.
