Welcome to opening night and a look at our Eastern Conference Champion 76ers!

Philadelphia 76ers Depth Chart - 2016
	STARTER	2ND	3RD	4TH
PG	Michael Carter-Williams	Devin Harris	Jaque Parker
SG	Tony Wroten	Chip Kelley
SF	Evan Turner	Darius Player	Tristan Coles
PF	Lamarcus Aldridge	Arnett Moultrie	Vergil Anderson	Alonzo Scott
C	Nerlens Noel	Guillermo Santos

Team Leader Lamarcus Aldriged will be looked to again this year to anchor the offense from the high and low post in our half court sets. Michael Carter-Williams is progressing nicely as a player and we have rewarded him with a handsome contract extension(5yr/57M) to keep him right here in Philly. Tony Wroten has played steadily but I really wanted him to be the backup PG but until we can find an ideal replacement at the two he will do just fine. Evan Turner is in a contract year as he can opt-out of his contract and become a free agent. Rumblings in the preseason had Turner wanting to return to the Ohio area and play ball for the Cavs next season...we will deal with the Turner contract situation around the all-star break unless a deal knocks us out the water. Nerlens is getting on my last nerve! For starters he's is a walking visit to the ER, he's already talking about making the most money possible when he has so much to work on game wise. Very dissappointing but what can you do, todays athletes want the world before they earn it.

Our bench production should continue to improve with the additions of Player and Anderson, Chip Kelley still remains and still shoot's the lights out, Moultrie is a throwback big thats plays solid defense a rebounds at a high rate. Former 1st round pick Tristan Coles and Alonzo Scott round out a very deep a talented 2nd unit for Philly.

Season prediction

I'm not even going to act like this isn't a championship caliber team! We have all the components for a great season. The keys will be to stay healthy and play togeteher as a team, rebounding has been a slight thorn in the Sixers back recently but the roster additions has seemed to close that gap greatly. No lower tha a 2 seed will be accepted after a run through the finals last season so lets get this season off on the right foot!

Next Game: Opening night vs Chicago Bulls

That is a nice lineup. MCW is growing into beast, a Magic Clone. With that Player pickup Turner definitely expendable now. Too bad Nerlens isn't working out. I could see him just being a beast defensively down low. Good luck on the coming year.

Don't get me wrong Nerlens is the perfect center for this offensive and defensive attack...he just always getting hurt...I should've sent him to conditioning those 1st 2 seasons...
