Dario Saric basically carried the 76ers after last season’s NBA all-star break.

The power forward was the Eastern Conference’s rookie of the month in February and March. He scored in double figures in 22 straight games. It was the longest streak by a rookie that season.

Saric had a career-high 32 points on March 24 versus the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

His previous career high of 29 points came against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on March 12. Two games before that, Saric scored 28 versus the Trail Blazers in Portland.
