1 Dario Saric, Sixers

Key number: 20.7. Saric played 30-plus minutes only 17 times last year, but was especially effective when he did, averaging 20.7 points per game.

Outlook: Saric had a solid rookie season, with 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Of all the young talent that is set to blossom in Philly, it’s easy to imagine Saric being the guy who gets sort of left behind, even though he showed pretty good chemistry with Joel Embiid last year.

If Ben Simmons is as good as advertised, he’ll take on much of Saric’s would-be role, and probably render Saric more of a spot-up shooter. He’ll need to improve there, because he scored only 0.87 points per possession on spot-up shots, in the lower third of the league.
