The 36ers are 0-2 to start the season but statistically aren’t bad. New import Montrezl Harrell is leading the league in +/- with +46 whilst the team sports the second best offensive rating in the league at 121.7.
Their defence has let them down over the first two rounds allowing a total of 203 points to their opponents, the 2nd highest average of any team. On the offensive end the 36ers have hit the 2nd most amount of 3 pointers while having the 3rd fewest attempts. The number is buoyed by an enormous shooting night in their first up loss against the Kings but nevertheless the skill is there.
