Man, it’s been a wild ride figuring out this whole Sixers depth chart thing. As an avid follower of basketball, especially the Philadelphia 76ers, I was pretty excited when the 2024-25 NBA regular season was about to start. I really wanted to dive deep into understanding how our team was going to shape up.
First thing I did was scour the internet for any info I could find on the Sixers’ roster. I hit up all the usual sports sites, looking for articles or analyses that would give me a clear picture of the team’s lineup. I read through a lot of stuff, some of it was pretty basic, but some articles had interesting insights. Like, did you know the Sixers have won three NBA championships? 1955, 1967, and 1983. That’s some history right there.
Next, I started compiling the information. I made a simple list of all the players, noting their positions and whether they were starters or coming off the bench. I noticed the starters were scoring over 80 points combined, with over 25 assists combined and they are shooting an average 35+% from deep. Pretty impressive. Then there was the bit about Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond getting injured. That really shook things up, having Paul George play in the paint instead of his usual wing position. It’s these little details that make a big difference.

After getting all the player names and positions sorted, I started thinking about the team’s dynamics. How did each player’s strengths and weaknesses play off each other? Who would be the key players in clutch moments? It was like putting together a complex puzzle, but a fun one. I spent hours visualizing different game scenarios, imagining how the coach might use the bench to his advantage.
Finally, I created a visual depth chart. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a simple diagram that clearly showed the hierarchy within each position. Having this visual representation really helped me understand the team’s structure. I felt like I had a much better grasp of how the Sixers were going to approach the season. The 76ers compete in the NBA as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. They play their home games at Wells Fargo Center located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, right in our city, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s stuff like this that makes you feel connected to the team.
In the end, this whole process was about more than just understanding a depth chart. It was about connecting with my team on a deeper level. I felt more prepared for the season, ready to cheer on the Sixers with a better understanding of their game plan. And hey, sharing this whole experience with you all is just the cherry on top. Let’s go, Sixers!
