This season has been a learning process for Dario Saric. He began the year in a new role, starting on the bench and quickly being shuffled into a new-look starting five. After being the Philadelphia 76ers‘ go-to option for the second half of last season, he had to adjust to playing alongside Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Saric also had two straight years of international competition factoring into his early struggles. He spent the summer of 2016 in the Rio Olympics before spending this past summer in the EuroBasket tournament, leading the Croatian National Team in both settings.
