Philadelphia has been searching for the right recipe to get them to the next level. With Ben Simmons at point guard, the man next to him is different from past seasons. Josh Richardson is the new name who is going to be asked to fill the void of Jimmy Butler. Tobias Harris and Al Horford both man the forward positions, which make it tough for opposing defenses. Joel Embiid is the star on the team and starts at center. However, Philadelphia has been searching for the right way to use Horford and Embiid together, which means staggering them at times.

The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the premier teams in the Eastern Conference and have been on the cusp of a few NBA Final runs. The starting lineup added a few new pieces this offseason when they let Jimmy Butler walk and signed Al Horford. With the Butler departure, they also had Josh Richardson in return giving them two strong defensive players to add to what was already an excellent defensive team. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are the stars of this team and are the featured options on the offensive side. Tobias Harris signed a long term deal with the 76ers this season after coming over from Los Angeles last year. Philadelphia is a top eastern team but has struggled with consistency at times, especially when they are away from home.
The 76ers starters are made up of Tobias Harris, Al Horford, Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, and Joel Embiid. This is one of the more talented
The most common 76ers starting lineup has been Tobias Harris, Al Horford, Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, and Joel Embiid. They have played a total of 19 games together because of injuries we have seen the starting lineup change frequently.
Joel Embiid has made 44 starts this season out of 44 games. Philadelphia still keeps a tight leash on him as far as playing time goes. Embiid has a lengthy injury history, and the 76ers will keep him fresh as they can.
Tobias Harris is the second-leading scorer on the 76ers. He is averaging 19.4 points per game, which is second to Joel Embiid who is averaging 23.4 points per game. Harris has been one of the more consistent scoring options for the 76ers.
According to player efficiency rating, Josh Richardson has been the worst starter on the team. However, the competition is fierce. Richardson has struggled fo find form on the offensive end in Philadelphia where he is genuinely a secondary option.
Ben Simmons plays the most minutes of any 76ers player. For one, Simmons is a younger name who can handle a high workload. He also is one of the very few guards the 76ers have to be out there for quality minutes.
