Says ESPN:
5. SIXERS
Record: 19-9
Much was made of the Sixers’ league-leading starting lineup last season, so how is this season’s model, featuring Jimmy Butler and Wilson Chandler, faring?
A plus-15.2 per 100 possessions, ranking it sixth in the NBA among the 44 lineups that have played at least 100 minutes.
Though the Sixers are winners of 10 of their past 12 games, Joel Embiid expressed frustration on Friday about his role in the Sixers’ offense, which has ranked seventh since Butler’s arrival.
Curiously, Embiid saw 8.13 posts per game prior to Butler’s arrival, and 8.18 posts per game since, according to Second Spectrum.
