I’m sure you’ve all heard some variation of this statement in the past two weeks following head coach Mike D’Antoni’s departure from the Houston Rockets and the Sixers’ subsequent interest in him.
“D’Antoni would never fit here. He’s all about shooting threes and we can’t shoot. Plus he’s bad in the playoffs. Anyways, don’t you think we should trade Joel Embiid and/or he should just get his butt in the post? ...”
Yes, D’Antoni-led teams typically take a large portion of their shots from behind the three-point line.
