4 – Dario Saric is Finding His Groove

After poor shooting performances in each of his first two NBA games, Dario Saric appears to be finding his groove as he adjusts to the speed of the world’s most competitive basketball league.

In his first two games, he went 4-for-21 on his field goal attempts (1-for-7 on 3-pointers) and scored just 10 total points.

In his last two games, Saric has been far more efficient, making 14 of his 28 field goal attempts (5-for-8 on 3-pointers) and totaling 35 points (14 of which were a team-high against the Hornets on Wednesday).

The Sixers have had high-hopes for Saric ever since they acquired him in the 2014 NBA draft, and after two strong performances it looks like he could be on his way to living up to the hype
