Any fan would have to face it at this point; it’s difficult to stay with the team after it has dismantled its roster too quickly. While this may prove to pay off in the distant future, the present is a bitter pill to take.
USA Today has recently released its NBA Watchability Rankings for 2014-15 and the 76ers has been ranked 30th or the least watchable team for this season. It is too soon for its two new drafts, Joel Embiid and Dario Saric, to play in this season. Meanwhile, it has traded away Thaddeus Young, the team’s top scorer.

As it stands, the current roster has been noted to be capable of challenging the NBA futility record, which it set back in the 1972-73 season with a 9-73 record. For this year, the team is expected to finish one game worse than its previous record at 8-74. Definitely not a team anyone would like to watch if they want to avoid being disappointed.
Still, there might be some good times ahead. General manager Sam Hinkie seems determined to get the first pick in the 2015 draft and as many assets as the team can. Developing the young players in its lineup is a definite perk. Notable among its current lineup of players is Nerlens Noel, a shot-blocker who has rebuilt his shooting style and has shown some promise of being among the remaining members who can carry the team moving forward.
