Does anyone else think the Sixers shooting far less 3s this season under NN than last season under Rivers is an issue? In particular, I am struggling to understand why Maxey and Tobias don’t shoot a higher volume of 3s when they are both decent career shooters. Unfortunately, Covington doesn’t shoot well enough to make defenses pay. Maxey on the other hand is lethal especially off the catch. Sixers would be much better off tapping into this to make defenses scramble imo. Please let me know your thoughts
Why isn’t maxey shooting a higher volume of 3’s?Maxey is averaging 7.6 3 point attempts per game right now. He’s 19th per game in the league. There’s only 5 players shooting 9+. If he took ONE more three a game he’d be 7th in the league. Exactly what volume do you want him shooting? It’s also extremely disrespectful to my father Tyrese Maxey to call him a “decent shooter.” He’s over 40% career from 3. 43% this year.
We have the 4th ranked offense in the league, so it doesn’t seem to be an huge issue. We could use another 3-d guy though. Hopefully once Oubre and Batum are back, our volume can perk up. Definitely need another creator too, get Maxey shooting off the ball a little bit.
