As the Sixers take a 2-0 lead into Toronto we take a look at what a starting five would like look made of Eagles players. 

Head Coach: Nick Sirianni The king of the Mini-Hoop hits the hardwood. Sirianni will lead the squad just like on the football field, being the coach to bring the visor to NBA sidelines. Point Guard: Jalen Hurts

Hurts is a natural leader which like the QB position is perfect for a point guard. He can score the ball, but would be a distributor first. Hurts would also be a good defender and can push the ball in transition. He will be able to utilize his read option skills from his college days. Shooting Guard: Darius Slay Jr.

Slay would be the leading scorer on the team. He would be a prolific scorer as well as an elite defender just like on the football field.  Small Forward: Haason Reddick

Reddick would be the teams three and D player. He will use his size and athleticism on the defensive end  while being able to knock down the three ball. Power Forward: Dallas Goedert

Goedert would be an absolute beast on the court. Huge, athletic, and skilled Goedert can do a little bit of everything. He can dominate on the perimeter and on the outside. Center: Tyree Jackson

The six foot seven and uber athletic Jackson will be an elite rim protector and a lob threat. Bench: Boston Scott

Scott will be energy off the bench. Often like his running style he will be no non-sense and bring an attitude and different dimension to the team. Bench: Quez Watkins

Quez is a microwave off the bench. He will be an instant offense, a truly deadly 3-point shooter. Bench: Josh Sweat

Sweat would be a defensive anchor off the bench. He will mainly protect the rim but is also a key player in the pick and roll game.
