Oooh, this is gonna be so interesting! The 76ers have got some tough decisions ahead, for sure!

I think Coach Nurse needs to weigh up what's best for the team, 'cause all these players are super talented & want to play

. Jabari Walker's defense is on point, but he's not bringing much to the offense table, so maybe Grimes gets a bit more mins?

Edgecombe's minutes are huge right now, so Nurse might need to chill him out a notch or two

. And McCain... poor guy needs a boost, gotta feel for him

. What do you guys think, who'll get the most playing time back when Oubre & Watford come back?

I think its gonna be tough to cut Grimes mins lol he's been playing so well

. Oubre and Watford coming back does make it interesting tho. If Nurse goes with 3 different starting units like last year, it could get crazy

️. I'm curious to see how Edgecombe handles the min but i think hes got this rookie vibe

. Jared McCain needs to step up his game or else he's bench time
