Power Forward Dario Saric

Dario Saric was truly the tale of two players: Mad Mario and Deadly Dario.  Mad Mario was the player who began the season.  As a rookie who had just come out of tough play at the Olympics as a member of the surprisingly effective Croatian National team, he began the season in a lackluster manner.

But things changed rapidly for Saric after Joel Embiid fell to injury.  Deadly Dario began to score, scoring rose nearly seven points a game, and he rebounded two-three more per game as well

Now that he is here in the NBA, and not competing in the Olympics, you can expect Deadly Dario to be the norm. He averaged 26 minutes per game. That should rise slightly, up to 29 minutes per game.  And so, you can expect:

18 points (PPG), 9 Rebounds (RPG), 4 Assists(APG), 1.5 Blocks (BPG), 2.0 Steals (SPG)
47 percent shooting from the floor, 36 percent three-point, and 82 percent shooting free throws
