The Philadelphia 76ers understand that others must step up in place of the injured James Harden as they continue to grow and build their team toward the NBA championship they so desperately crave.
Not one player replaces a guy like Harden. The future Hall of Famer has such a huge impact on the game and he makes others around him better. One can see that with the Sixers as they lean on him to get the team into their offense and he is also a closer they can go to in the fourth quarter.
To replace Harden, there are three players who must take their game to another level and step up. The Beard was averaging 22.0 points, 10.0 assists, and 7.0 rebounds to begin the season and these three will have to be the ones to give more on the floor.
