I am really scared. I stocked up 6 defenders, and the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people are all together. This team is expected to make a comeback!

Last season was undoubtedly a nightmare season for the Sixers. Although the team gathered a large number of stars, they encountered serious injuries. The two superstars Paul George and Joel Embiid were not only reimbursed seasonally, but even McCain, who had just played, suffered serious injuries after highlighting for a period of time. They had to undergo surgical treatment and were directly reimbursed for the season. Fortunately, the team got a squad, which can strengthen the team's lineup. At the same time, maybe it's really scared of being injured. The 76ers have gathered as many as 6 defenders, which can be said to be full of talents. All three generations of old, middle-aged and young people have the chance to rush out of the East next season. Let's take a look at the specific situation together.

1.Tylers Maxi

This season's data: 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals

There is no doubt that despite the large number of guards, the core of the outside lineup next season is still Maxi. Last season, Maxi was definitely the most uncomfortable person in the team. As Embiid and George missed a lot of games, he had to bear very heavy offensive pressure, while taking into account both organization and defense. The result was that he averaged 26.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, setting a career high again in data. But because the pressure was too great, he was carrying a heavy burden in every game, so he was overwhelmed and eventually missed 30 games due to injury. Fortunately, next season, as long as he is in a good position, he can focus more on offense. Considering that he is only 24 years old, he will still be the core of the team next season, and there will be no big surprises. After Embiid declines, he will be the next generation of core of the 76ers team and lead the team to continue to move forward.

2. Quentin Grimes

This season's data: 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal

Grimes was one of the few surprises for the team last season. After the team got him, not only did they get rid of Caleb Martin's long contract, but also Grimes' arrival also alleviated the pressure to a certain extent. Don’t look at his average data throughout the season was only 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. In fact, after joining the 76ers, he quickly grew up. In 28 games, he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, which is a standard performance of the second and third leaders. Moreover, he is extremely functional, not only has a stable three-point shooting on the offensive end, but also is a vanguard on the outside on the defensive end. Although the contract is currently expiring, it is a restricted free agent after all. In addition, most teams in the current market basically have no room to offer him a price. Therefore, as long as there is no big problem, the 76ers can keep this excellent defender for a long time and provide enough help for the team's three-point shooting and defense next season.

3. Jared McCain

This season's data: 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists

In the outside world, the quality of the 2024 rookies is very average, so after joining the 76ers, McCain did not receive much attention at first. After all, he is just the 16th pick in the first round. Although he has abilities, no one expected that he would immediately become the core of the team. However, the weather is not as good as others wish, and the team encountered a wave of injuries, so McCain got a lot of opportunities. The 21-year-old did not disappoint the team. After becoming the team's starter, he played a highlight in a row, once scored 20+ in seven consecutive games, and was elected as the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in November. However, just as McCain was getting better, he suffered a serious injury and eventually missed the rest of the season. But considering that he is very young and can contribute 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists per game, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages are as high as 46% and 38.3% respectively. Even if his status will decline next season, he can still play as a stable rotation for the team.

4. Eric Gordon

This season's data: 6.8 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists

Not long ago, the 76ers and 36-year-old veteran Gordon completed a contract renewal, and he will return to the team with a 1-year veteran's basic salary. The news of Gordon's return also made the local media very excited. Although it has declined significantly, Gordon is still in good condition. Although Gordon only played 39 games in total, he made good contributions in the games he played. Behind his average of 6.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists, his three-point shooting percentage remains at an excellent 40.9%, and he can make 1.4 three-pointers per game, with satisfactory output and efficiency. Moreover, next season, as the lineup of the back line is improved, Gordon doesn't have to carry a burden. He can avoid the possibility of injuries as much as possible during the regular season, and at the same time, he can also help the team at critical moments. Of course, the 76ers naturally took a fancy to Gordon's experience when they signed back to Gordon. They not only helped young people grow up, but also had miraculous effects in the playoffs, so Gordon's staying behind is still worthy of recognition.

5. Kyle Lowry

This season's data: 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists

At the same time, 39-year-old veteran Lowry also agreed to the team's request, returned to the team with the veteran's basic salary and continued to attack the championship. Although he is about to retire and there is no oil in the fuel tank, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, he has been struggling in the NBA for 20 years, Lowry has experienced countless storms and waves. His experiences are a very valuable asset for the Sixers. Looking back at the current team lineup, no one in the team has ever had the experience of the finals, let alone Lowry won the championship that year.. In addition, Lowry now has 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists. His role is irreplaceable, whether on the court or off the court. Therefore, keeping Lowry this time is also the correct operation for 76ers.

6.VJ Edgecombe

This season's data: 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists

Finally, let's talk about Edgecombe from Baylor University, who was selected by the team with the Titan Lottery. For Edgecombe, being selected by the Sixers is good news and bad news. The reason why it is bad news is that the 76ers' lineup is actually very neat and there are three cores. For a Tanhua, such a team environment is actually not conducive to his own growth. But the good news is that he is closer to the championship than other rookies, and so many star players can also teach him experience. As the core of Baylor University, he can contribute 15 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in the NCAA year, and his dynamic and static talent is excellent. Moreover, in the summer league not long ago, Edgecom scored 28 points in his debut, with 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and showed his superstar style on both offense and defense. Therefore, as long as he is patient, Edgecom will be very likely to be one of the core of the team's next generation.
