The Philadelphia 76ers have a lot of talented players.
Pretty much none of them play power forward.
"They've spent most of the season with two-way players, Dominick Barlow or Jabari Walker starting at that position, with backup center Adem Bona also filling in," ESPN's Tim Bontemps wrote on Tuesday. "Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. Could move to the 4, but neither has true power forward size."

If the 76ers want to address that, ESPN's Zach Kram has a sleeper possibility for a trade: Jalen Smith.
Smith, a big guy on the Chicago Bulls, has been efficient this season when he gets chances.
"The Bulls' Jalen Smith has quietly had a strong season, averaging 18.4 points and 12.7 rebounds per 36 minutes on solid efficiency," Kram wrote. "Capable of playing as a power forward and small-ball center, Smith would slot nicely into Philadelphia's frontcourt, rounding out a rotation that, at times, feels too imbalanced toward the guard positions."
Smith was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Maryland by the Phoenix Suns.
He took a long time to look like he actually belonged on an NBA court. There was plenty of feeling that Smith was pretty much a bust.
But more recently, he's shown that his skillset can work in the NBA. He even shoots it at 36% from 3-point range.
The 76ers would benefit from a guy like Smith on their roster, and he probably wouldn't cost too much in a trade, either.
