The fit has been much better since the lineup change. Defense had been fine (although Reggie cooking him in the clutch wasn’t great). But that’s not going to last if Terance can’t score. We can’t have people aggressively helping off Mann.

Believe it will turn around. But if not the Harden trade talk all offseason is going to look like a big mistake.

      People go too far on both in opposite directions.

      Tucker’s scoring is an issue but he does add things elsewhere.

      Meanwhile Mann obviously makes an impact elsewhere, but he’d be a lot better if he was scoring as well.

    Mann shot 21% from three in his first 16 games last year. But he finished the season shooting 39%. The team is going through a lot of changes right now with Harden.

    I think Mann just needs more reps. He’s only started for 3 games. Let’s give him at least 10 games before we make an assessment on him.

      Nope. He hesitates on shots under the bucket and passes and when he doesn’t, his shot bangs around the rim and rims out.

    Mann can score but he doesn’t need to. Glue man.

      I don’t fully disagree. But the championship ceiling is when he adds in some efficient buckets around all the glue stuff.

    As someone who didn’t like the Harden trade, one thing Im sure he’ll be able to do great for us is help out our younger guys. Guys like Maxey, who many people compared Mann to for some reason last season, had nothing but great things to say about Harden, so I hope Harden can teach Mann a few things offensively and take him to the next level.

    Roco 12 games with Philly:

    15mpg 4.6ppg, 43% FG, 26% 3

    Except he didn’t miss an entire month with an ankle injury.
