The Philadelphia 76ers’ team is good. However, with a little nudge on their back, the team could become solid title contenders next season. To achieve this feat, the team’s stars, X-factors, and coach should improve in some aspects. What aspects should the Sixers improve?

Where The Team’s Big Three Should Improve

In less than a month, the NBA season will commence. Throughout this offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers made some juicy signings. Also, one of the well-known signings was Paul George. Paul George completed the Sixers’ Big-Three combination for next season. Now, the Sixers will come back stronger next season. Yet, the Big Three team players need to improve. The aspect these team players should improve on is their playmaking skills.

Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George complement each other on the court. This combination makes the Sixers dangerous next season. Thus, NBA teams would craft an ultra-defense to stop these players. With these Sixers stars getting double and triple-teamed, they need to improve on their playmaking skill and trust their teammates.

Philadelphia 76ers’ X-Factors: Where to Improve

The Sixers franchise did a good job extending players who can make an impact on the floor. Also, the front office signed elite players that add more depth to the team. Players that make up the X-factors category include Caleb Martin, Kelly Oubre Jr., KJ Martins, and Guerschon Yabusele.

These players can offer defensive aid that helps the team’s offense flourish. However, the aspect of improvement for this category is the catch-and-shoot skill. NBA teams will choke the Sixers’ star players defensively. Thus, while the Sixers stars focus on playmaking, the supportive players should be ready to catch and shoot.

The Sixers Coach: Where To Improve

Sixers’ head coach, Nick Nurse did a great job last season. He helped the franchise find its Dynamic duo during the playoffs. Also, Nick finished seventh in the Eastern Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses. During the regular season, the team missed Joel Embiid due to a knee injury. Yet, the Sixers clinched a playoff spot against the Knicks.

Philadelphia 76ers’ roster bolsters with Star players whose health arouses much concern from the Philly fans. Thus, Nick should improve his rotation to keep his roster fresh. One of the players who should get more minutes is Ricky Council IV. Ricky’s summer league performance was impressive. Also, giving him a shot will help ease the pressure on the Sixers star players. Also, it would reduce minutes for older players in the team who are injury-prone.

Final Thoughts

Smooth ball movement and shots can balance this team’s performance. Thus, playmaking is one of the vital skills to enhance this balance. Having a star-studded team doesn’t mean a championship title; the Clippers’ 2024 playoff performance proves that notion. What makes a solid championship team is balance. Thus, the catch-and-shoot skill balances the equation for the Sixers.
