If you could add one of these former Sixers in their prime to the current roster, who would you choose?

    When was prime Stauskas? At Michigan lol?

    Ooooh all good choices except one. Probably Nerlens though.

  3. joegerbstein

    nerlens for sure. then roco or the homie

  4. Lazaraaus

    Roco and it’s not even close.

    Can play the 3/4/5 good defense, good shooting, solid at boxing out. We could bench PJ and run either at the 5 spot in the playoffs when Joel rests.

    Covington would start on this team as the 3. It’s no contest. He would likely play ~36 MPG.

    Then Nerlens, he would be a good backup for Embiid.

    Saric is third, he’d be a backup 4 which we are deep at with Tobias, PJ and Niang. Tobias alone is more reliable than Embiid from a games/minutes, and defensively Embiids backup is way more important.

    Easily Roco, biggest position of need guy, though having Nerlens to back Joel up would be nice too

    Roco has started 460 career games. The rest have 491 combined. Dude was a lock down 3 and D stud for a number of years…the perfect piece to put with prolific scorers. He just didn’t play with many.

    I will make the case for each of these Process Sixers:

    Robert Covington – Versatile defender who would benefit from Harden’s playmaking by getting open 3s. Probably would be a starter and fill the team’s hole of a lockdown perimeter defender.

    Nik Stauskas – Deadly sniper and capable playmaker who has size. Could take over the House / Kork / Matisse minutes. His [quick shot release](https://youtu.be/KP6YJwuIS9A) really just mesmerizes you.

    Nerlens Noel – Rolling big who can protect the rim. Harden could throw him lobs all day. Would replace Montrezl and B-Ball Paul’s minutes. Huge upgrade over the current situation when Embiid misses a game.

    Dario Saric – Point forward who can shoot and bang in the post. Possibly able to play backup 5 in short stints. Harden could set him up with 3s and drop offs near the rim. Would be somewhat of an upgrade over Niang.

  9. ProcessTrust856

    It’s Covington and it’s not close. He would be crazy useful on this team. He’d start at the 3 and Tucker could come off the bench the way he should.

  10. Tob0gganMD

    Covington and it’s not close. Someone who can guard 4 positions and hit some 3s is super valuable.

  11. KeyboardCarpenter

    Fuck it hot take… Ersan Ilyasova if I could

  12. dgood527

    RoCo only because the other dudes suck. He is at least playable.

  13. hijikiblackcat

    Saric cause i already have his jersey
