Due to injuries, the Philadelphia 76ers second unit is considered a weakness of the team. It’s not because they can’t score, Landry Shamet, Furkan Korkmaz and Mike Muscala can all stretch the floor very well. However, outside of Muscala, nobody previously mentioned is even an average defender.
Having a second unit that struggles on defense has hampered the Sixers so far this season, however once everyone on the roster is healthy the team has a chance to role out a defensive minded second unit.
Right now Justin Patton, Zhaire Smith and Markelle Fultz are all rehabbing from injury.
