Kelly Oubre Jr. and Caleb Martin’s three-point shooting isn’t 76ers’ only problem, but it might be the biggest

One win in seven games comes from many different issues, but the Philadelphia 76ers need more from their starting wings. Caleb Martin and Kelly Oubre Jr. are shooting 20% and 30% from deep respectively. Unsurprisingly, the Sixers are near the bottom of the league in three-point accuracy.

Yes, they’ve been without Joel Embiid every game, and Paul George for all but the last two. They’re advantage creators. It’s not Martin or Oubre’s job to create shots. It’s to finish them. With Tyrese Maxey now out for a couple of weeks with a right hamstring injury, that job is much harder.
