The Philadelphia 76ers‘ starting lineup is fantastic as a unit, posting one of the best net ratings of any five-man group in the NBA. But each player is also interesting as an individual. Let’s take a look at the most interesting stat for each of the Sixers’ starters.
Everyone knows Ben Simmons likes to get the rim. 56.7% of his shots have come within five feet of the basket, and he’s shooting a very nice 69% on said shots. He’s shooting just 33.2% on all other attempts.
What is less obvious when watching Simmons play is how well he converts on shot attempts right after receiving the ball.
