FIRST TIMER ALERT!

Jackson Frank joins Adio Royster on the Out of Site Podcast, today, to discuss his piece he did last week about how the Philadelphia 76ers are building a better, faster, stronger offense for their superstar center, Joel Embiid. The pair talks about the new roster (the ones that are available, anyways), how the office looks after ten games and what could be possible when the Sixers roster is complete again … after several players had to be held out due to Covid protocols against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.
