The beginning of the 76ers season was not far from ideal. Prior to January 7th, the Sixers were off to a 7-2 start and clicking on all cylinders. The new shooting additions were providing the exact spacing that the offense craved and Seth Curry was leading the charge in this area.
Curry was averaging 17 points per game and shooting an unreal 59.5% from beyond the arc. His chemistry with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons was beginning to develop and he was showcasing a much more versatile style of play than most expected.
