76ers' Mike Gansey Touts a Big 5 Starting Lineup
Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Mike Gansey said the team "kind of" has a Big 5 in its starting lineup, pairing LeBron James and Jaylen Brown with Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe, according to Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The comment suggests Edgecombe is still viewed as part of the first unit despite Philadelphia's veteran additions. Gansey also compared coach Nick Nurse to "a kid in a candy store" with so many lineup options, which points to heavy staggering. Edgecombe, Maxey, and Embiid remain fantasy-relevant starters, but shared touches with James and Brown could trim usage from a thinner-roster ceiling.
