The Philadelphia 76ers have a much more attractive roster this year than in past years. Sergio Rodriguez, Jerryd Bayless, Gerald Henderson, and Ben Simmons are just some of the new faces on this roster to make them look much more competitive.
Brett Brown is the leader of this young core and is excited about this upcoming season. He went on 975 The Fanatic today to talk about the Philadelphia 76ers and his expectations for some of his players for this season.

All Philadelphia 76ers fans are feeling a different kind of electricity this year as the team has a much improved roster as previously stated. As Brett Brown noted, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric are two players in particular who should make for some entertaining basketball in Philly.
The Sixers are still not necessarily projected to make the playoffs this year, but should be a very entertaining team to watch.
