1. Buddy Hield
Hield is a player that seems too perfect for the 76ers. There are unhappy feelings in Sacramento and Hield is looking for a fresh start. That start could come for a team looking to take the next step as a title contender. Hield would fit into the Sixers’ scheme in more ways than one.
First and foremost, his ability to shoot from deep. That is what this article is about and it is what Hield does extremely well. Hield is coming off of a season where he shot 39% from three-point range. That was his lowest number since his rookie season.
He would help the Sixers’ immediate lack of shooting. Hield would also help handling the ball if Philadelphia wants Simmons to play off-the-ball.
With players like Simmons and Embiid drawing much attention, it would open up Hield on the perimeter. Doc Rivers would welcome Hield with open arms if a deal could get done.
Again, this would require the Sixers to part ways with a big contract but that is something they should be looking to do anyway.
