Philadelphia 76ers Ben Simmons Markelle Fultz 1st postseason
By Bret Stuter
1st post-season play
Its an uncanny fact that both Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz know the experience of hearing their names called first in their respective NBA drafts, but neither know the experience of post-season play. For a team that has been a mainstay of NBA Playoffs, it’s exciting to see the novelty of such talented players in that postseason forum. And it’s not just the two youngsters. International stars, who came to the NBA to compete with the best in basketball, now get that opportunity.
76ers vital to NBA Playoffs
The Sixers are a team which brings a vital injection of novelty and entertainment to the NBA postseason. After all, the Philadelphia 76ers have risen from complete obscurity and disdane to the upper tier of the NBA in less than a single NBA season. And much like having two top-picks on the team with virutally no postseason experience, that’s both a bane and a boon.
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the hottest and most unpredictable teams to enter the NBA Playoffs in years. To borrow a line from a great Broadway play, “Anything goes“.
