I know nothing about baseball, but that equates to an average of a 27 win NBA season, while the Sixers are at 18.75 for the last 4 seasons, boosted by last year's "dynamic" 28 win team. We are talking about magnitudes of woefulness though, sure, but that's a significant dip.
Still a huge question mark over whether Embiid will ever make it through a season, or if Simmons is a legit prospect - I'll give him an injury pass at this stage and hope (for my national team's sake) it was just bad luck. Saric and what should be at least a solid #1-worthy player in this draft are the closest things they have to a "sure thing" right now, which TBH isn't a great deal when you look at the last 4 years, unless Fultz, Simmons, or Embiid ends up being an absolute superstar - ideally 2 of them.
