The Sixers sure don’t look too guard-heavy right now

Former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly once famously said, “Big people beat up little people.” It’s a great soundbite. The Sixers sure didn’t heed Kelly’s advice when they decided to select the 6-foot-4 VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor No. 3 overall. The team already featured the 6-foot-2 Tyrese Maxey and the 6-foot-3 Jared McCain. […]

Sixers’ homegrown guard trio shines bright under the MSG lights

The 14-11 start for the Sixers this season has been a breath of the freshest air possible compared to the disaster that was last season.
