Pair of NBA Analysts Snub Sixers in Eastern Conference Contenders Debate
Following a busy offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers have managed to build a roster with both star power and depth. Despite the collection of talent they've managed to bring in, some analysts overlooked them while breaking down some of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Fresh off of winning the NBA title last season, the Boston Celtics find themselves in a strong position to repeat as champions. Before the 2025 season gets underway, a panel of analysts on NBA TV touched on teams who dethrone the Celtics.

McCain is one of the best shooters in this draft, shooting 41.8% from 3-point range and shot lights out at the combine in front of every NBA executive and scout. Even though he's undersized at 6-foot-3, 197 pounds, Philadelphia knows exactly what it's getting from him as a reliable shooter who competes at a high level.

Bona showed more promise as a pick-and-roll big during the 5-on-5 scrimmages at the combine but still needs to be a bit more patient defensively. He can come in and play right away alongside Jared McCain in the second unit with his size and strength on the block combined with McCain's outside shooting.
