In the wake of guard Tony Wroten’s recent knee injury, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves facing some serious depth issues at the point guard position. Whether it is bringing in a veteran free agent or signing someone from the NBA D-League, the 76ers have a few options. Here are five players who they can bring in to replace Wroten this season.

If the 76ers decide to go with a veteran free agent, Jordan Farmar would be an ideal candidate. After signing with the Los Angeles Clippers during this past offseason, Farmar was recently released by the team. As an eight-year veteran of the NBA, Farmar would serve as a good mentor to Michael Carter-Williams.

Another option for the 76ers is to sign someone from the NBA D-League. One name that could spark the interest of the 76ers is Marquis Teague, who they actually released shortly after acquiring him from the Brooklyn Nets. Already having NBA experience would allow for Teague to step right in and play right away.

The NBA D-League is full of players the 76ers could sign to replace the injured Tony Wroten. At 6-foot-5, Lorenzo Brown's style of play is similar to that of Michael Carter-Williams. Having played for the team last season, Brown is a name that the 76ers are already familiar with.

As the brother of sharp-shooting guard Stephen Curry, Seth Curry has drawn interest from several NBA teams. As the No. 1 player on the NBA D-League's Prospect Watch, Curry is averaging 24 points per game, while shooting almost 50 percent from three-point range. The 76ers already struck gold with one D-League signing this year in Robert Covington, so why not try another?

The easiest solution for the 76ers to replace Tony Wroten is already on their roster. Monday afternoon, Larry Drew II signed his second and final 10-day contract with the team. If he shines in his first career start against the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night, Drew would be the easy choice to replace Wroten for the remainder of the season.
