The Philadelphia 76ers are likely to start Lavoy Allen at center and Thaddeus Young at power forward to begin the season.

Entering training camp, Doug Collins had expected to start Andrew Bynum at center and Spencer Hawes at power forward.

"I would have to say that's a great chance; that group has played very well together," Collins said. "We don't have great size, with Andrew and Kwame [Brown] being our two biggest guys. If that is the group that we will start with, we are going to have to really rebound that ball.

"But I like our speed, and I like our shooting and the way we push the ball. The guys have settled into a good fit."

Jrue Holiday, Jason Richardson and Evan Turner will round out the starting five.
