Philadelphia 76ers: 10 remaining free agent options

The Philadelphia 76ers still have some roster spots available despite all the moves they’ve made and there are a handful of players they could sign.

As of now, the Philadelphia 76ers have filled 13 of the possible 15 roster spots so far this offseason. That’s not including the two spots designated for two-way contracts, both of which are filled by Norvel Pelle and Marial Shayok. The Sixers have two more spots they can fill before the beginning of the season with plenty of quality players.

Before dissecting who Philly should target, it’s important to know what they currently have. The roster already has the following players: Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, Al Horford, Joel Embiid, James Ennis, Zhaire Smith, Matisse Thybulle, Kyle O’Quinn, Shake Milton, Raul Neto, Jonah Bolden and Mike Scott.

“The two biggest needs that this roster still has is at point guard and 3-point shooting on the wing.”

The Sixers are set on center depth, but don’t have a young center to develop for the future. The wing rotation seems pretty strong as well, although they could use a veteran pure shooter to solidify their depth. The power forward spot is set for now and the future, so there’s really not much need there. The point guard position is one of the biggest areas of concern, especially with Milton proving in summer league that he’s not a point guard of the future.

The last two roster spots could both be filled before training camp or the team could elect to keep one open. It depends on how comfortable general manager Elton Brand feels about the roster he put together this summer. The two biggest needs that this roster still has is at point guard and 3-point shooting on the wing.
