Back when On Pattison was launched, two of our first Sixers stories made the optimistic and pessimistic cases for the 2024-25 team.
In honor of opening night, here are those arguments, all in one place.
Five reasons to be optimistic about the Sixers in 2024-25:
- The replacement level over Tobias Harris
- Depth on the perimeter
- The rebounding problem might be overstated
- You know where the three-point shooting is coming from
- Picks and tradable salary
Five reasons to be pessimistic about the Sixers in 2024-25:
- Health
- Where is the playmaking?
- Does the playmaking uncertainty hurt the shooting?
- The third big man
- The playoff pedigree
