On paper, and when you watch them, the 76ers look like a team with most of the pieces to be successful.

What is holding them back?

I am talking about their overall record.

Something like 36-20.

They should be better.

They'll be better now with Tobias Harris.

You can’t just throw a bunch of guys together. They aren’t used to playing with each other.

By March/April they’ll hit their stride once the new pieces get acclimated

there's a reason veterans are so important. They generally bring much needed toughness and focus. No matter how talented and great young players are, they just aren't able to consistently dominate or stay focused.

You can’t build a championship team around a guy who can’t shoot the ball

Looking at you Ben Simmons

Also point guard is a very important position, they missed big on Markelle fultz

Problem with the Sixers is their players don't compliment each other that well.

Also, they lack good guard play.

Their guards consist of Simmons and McConnell.

We will see.

Biggest weakness is opp points in the paint defensively. They let up too many easy buckets. They around above avg in opp fg %, but 20th in points in the paint and opp scoring

Offensively they are 27th in turnovers. That comes from not having a solid point guard. Too many guys possess the ball that don’t need to be possessing.

Commit a high rate of fouls. Leads to a lot of point on the other side because nba players typically make their ft

This becomes a big problem against teams that don’t turn the ball over. In basketball this will directly lose you the game.

Tonight the sixers had 14 turnovers to Boston 6
