Thaddeus Young

It was his first seven seasons in the NBA as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers franchise, when Thaddeus Young become a solid two-way forward in the league. With the Sixers, he averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals. His 76ers tenure ended when he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves by Hinkie. He also played with the Brooklyn Nets and recently the Pacers.

This past summer Young signed with a young Chicago Bulls team looking to make the leap into playoff contention this season. Young still has plenty to left in the tank after 12 NBA seasons, but should also be a great mentor for the Bulls young big men like Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr.

Boban Marjanovic

The 7-foot-3 center came from the Clippers as a part of the trade package that brought Harris to the 76ers. Despite being a liability on the defensive end, Boban Marjanovic was arguable Philly’s best backup center last season. With the Sixers, he averaged 8.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks.

To the dismay of most 76ers fans, Marjanovic signed with the Dallas Mavericks this past summer. He’ll be joining the young combo of Luka Doncic and fellow 7-foot-3 big man Kristaps Porzingis. Marjanovic should be in the mix for minutes off of the Mavericks bench this season. Majanovic has also played for the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons.
