The Sixers have their eyes on a title after landing Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in the offseason to team up with Joel Embiid and Co. and their work is beginning in the offseason.

Rookie guard Labaron Philon Jr., selected No. 22 in the draft, will be looking to make an impact right away and give the Sixers some production right away. After a terrific collegiate career at Alabama, Philon will now look to carry his college numbers to the NBA and help the Sixers get the job done.
