Dario Saric’s 2018-2019 campaign, his third season in the NBA, is off to an objectively terrible start. If the Homie were to maintain his current shooting percentages of 34.0%/23.2%/88.6% (FG%/3PT%/FT%) for the remainder of the season, two of the three categories (FG% & 3PT%) would easily be career lows — this for a guy who shot just 31.1% from 3PT his rookie season. Saric’s poor play has coincided with a rocky start for the Sixers. While the blame for an underwhelming start can’t be placed entirely on Dario, a bounce back from him would go a long way in getting Philly back to being the Eastern Conference threat that went 17-0 to end last season.
