​The Philadelphia 76ers are looking like a much different team as they head into the 2026-27 season. New President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey looks to build a strong roster around the team’s talented core. The Sixers have been unable to get over the hump in the past, but Gansey and Co. have made steps towards fixing that problem.The Sixers began the offseason by selecting Labaron Philon Jr. with the No. 22 overall pick and then went out and brought in Dean Wade, Ariel Hukporti, and Anfernee Simons in free agency. Then, the Sixers swung for the fences with the blockbuster trade to bring in Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics. Then they landed the biggest name in free agency in LeBron James before landing a deal with 2-time champion Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as another depth piece.Here’s an updated look at the depth chart for the Sixers as they move forward:Point guardStarter: Tyrese MaxeyDepth chart: Labaron Philon Jr., Anfernee Simons, Caleb Love (two-way)James will certainly play a ton of point guard, but Maxey is coming off a fantastic season in which he averaged 28.3 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 46.2% from the floor and 36.7% from deep while playing in 70 games. He did his best to be there for Philadelphia on a nightly basis and was a big leader for this group throughout the season. He will now look to take an even bigger step forward as a player in the coming season as Philadelphia chases a championshipPhilon, the No. 22 pick in the draft, will serve as the primary backup to Maxey at the moment. After a terrific sophomore season at Alabama, he will now look to take on even more responsibility as the stabilizer for the second unit in Philadelphia. Simons will also receive playing time, but will likely play the 2-guard more often due to his scoring ability. Love will serve as a depth option.Shooting guardStarter: VJ EdgecombeDepth: Simons, Kentavious Caldwell-PopeEdgecombe, the No. 3 pick of the 2025 draft, was terrific as he averaged 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. He took on a bigger role as the season wore on and made sure he was ready for whatever challenge was thrown his way as a rookie. One has to wonder about his development with the presence of Brown and James now, but the Sixers should find a way to prioritize him a bit more in 2026-27.Simons is a combo guard who is more of a scorer, so he will play this position off the bench. He averaged 14.3 points in 55 games for the Celtics and the Chicago Bulls while scoring 20-plus points 12 times, including a season-high 39 points in a Jan. 15 win over the Miami Heat. Caldwell-Pope is a career 36.5% shooter from beyond the arc and he can knock down tough 3-pointers while also being a defensive pest. He will play both the 2 and the 3 off the bench.Small forwardStarter: Jaylen BrownBench: Caldwell-Pope, Justin EdwardsBrown was fantastic in the 2025-26 season with the Celtics as he averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists while shooting
