Seth Gupwell spent two years as an online journalist covering culture, lifestyle, and sports in New Zealand, and is now in his first year writing about the Sixers for Liberty Ballers. And just like that, we have one week of NBA regular season action left. While that will lead to sighs of relief for Sixers fans, a brief respite of stress and anger until the draft lottery rolls around, many teams in the association are in jaw-clenching and hair-pulling time.

Seth Gupwell spent two years as an online journalist covering culture, lifestyle, and sports in New Zealand, and is now in his first year writing about the Sixers for Liberty Ballers. In the dying days of a long-dead Sixers’ season, Justin Edwards’ drives provide life. In his 39-game rookie campaign, the Philly-native has secured a long-term spot on the roster because of his do-it-all game. He can shoot, defend and make the right play. Size and acumen at the wing. Contemporary and complementary.
