What modern players would you put on this hypothetical 2001 76ers roster? Most of the guys on that roster were defensive specialists who didn’t have much scoring ability. My take on this team would be:

PG: Marcus Smart

SG: Allen Iverson

SF: Matisse Thybulle

PF: Jarred Vanderbilt

C: Rudy Gobert

6th man: TJ McConnell

Imo this team is a defensive juggernaut and AI would still be the only reliable offensive option and I could see this team making a deep playoff run in todays NBA, the cap is probably an ECF.

The Rose Bulls, Westbrook Thunder, and sorta the Ja Grizzlies could all be considered modern iterations of the Iverson 76ers' roster construction (i.e. avg/small yet hyperathletic guard carrying the offense on an otherwise defensively-oriented squad), altho Ja at least has ample offensive support in JJJ and Bane. This type of roster typically makes for some fun, streets-will-remember-type hero ball and not much else.
