In case you hadn’t heard, the Philadelphia 76ers are struggling to shoot the basketball, especially from long range. As the league continues to trend towards hoisting up as many threes as possible, the Sixers rank 26th in three-point percentage and 17th in three-point attempts per game. A big reason for their 1-7 start is just how badly they are losing this math battle.
Obviously this team will generate much better three-point looks when their former MVP returns to the lineup. It’s also evident they have no chemistry together with 11 new players on the roster. Still, the start without him has been alarming.
