Dario Saric knows his best position in the NBA is power forward but he's accepting of the fact that he'll have to play small forward in certain situations to receive playing time.

Nerlens Noel is returning this week and he's expected to pair with Joel Embiid or Jahlil Okafor in the frontcourt, while they also need to find minutes for Ersan Ilyasova and Richaun Holmes.

"I feel OK," Saric said of the position switch after Wednesday's shootaround. "Of course, I will need some time, you know, to adjust to the new position, to guard different types of players, players who play more with the ball. [They are] players who are downhill, attack-minded."

The 76ers' frontcourt will become even more crowded when Ben Simmons debuts though he will play point guard on offense.
