Why The Philadelphia 76ers Do The Deal

If Matisse Thybulle’s three-point percentages were making you squeamish, you can rest easy. Doug McDermott’s will ease your burdened soul.

In fact, we’re not even going to bother posting them. Here’s the summary: they’re all good. Over the course of his career, he’s been wildly consistent. He’s shot over 40% from distance in each of his last four seasons.

That’s Philly’s obvious incentive in acquiring McDermott. They’re so set on primary offensive options that they need complementary pieces like Dougie Buckets. He’ll open up the floor for whichever Philly star has the ball in a given moment.

The 76ers’ early postseason exit in 2021-22 can be rationalized. They only acquired James Harden at the deadline, giving them precious little time to gel as a group. In 2022-23, the same excuses will not suffice. This group needs to make a deep playoff run.
