3 reasons why the Sixers will reach the NBA Finals
In 2001, the Sixers won ten games to start the year and went on to win the NBA Finals. Today, I have the same feeling of optimism with the addition of solid role players and a healthier James Harden.
Tyrese Maxey went from 8.0 points per game to 17.5 last year. He left Kentucky after his freshman year and was drafted by the Sixers as the 21st pick in 2020. Maxy's maturity and unexpected surge catapulted him into a starting role after the Ben Simmons drama. His 3-point shooting went up from 30.1 percent to 42.7 percent per games in one year, which should help Joel Embiid and the team.
