One of the biggest reasons for the Sixers’ 3-13 start to this season, other than injured left knees, has been a struggle to shoot the ball consistently.
Given that it’s the most basic premise of the sport, it’s a pretty troubling trend. The Sixers are ranked 28th in total offense, according to Cleaning the Glass, averaging 106.9 points per 100 possessions. The league average this season is 114.
A big reason for that has been a lack of consistent shooters on the floor — despite finding a rookie sensation in Jared McCain who’s been a sharpshooter.
