It’s become clear that Mike Scott has become the Sixers sixth man. Not only does he get the most minutes off the bench, he’s the best 3-point shooter among reserves as well. Head coach Brett Brown uses Scott as a power forward and a small ball five when it’s not beneficial to play Marjanovic. Scott has thrived in this role and should continue moving forward.
5. Tobias Harris
March Stats: GP 14| MINS 36.5| FG% 44.8| 3P% 30.2| FT% 85.4| TRB 8.1| AST 3.1| BKL 0.3| STL 0.6| PF 2.2| TOV 1.7| PTS 16.9

Tobias Harris probably saw the biggest regression from February to March among any of the players on the roster. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Harris is struggling, considering he was just traded to the franchise in February. The dip in Harris’ point production isn’t nearly as worrisome as his dramatic drop-off in 3-point percentage. The Sixers need Harris to hit 3-pointers at the rate he was with the Los Angeles Clippers if they want a chance at a NBA title.
4. J.J. Redick
March Stats: GP 14| MINS 31.7| FG% 40.0| 3P% 41.1| FT% 89.5| TRB 2.6| AST 2.6| BKL 0.3| STL 0.3| PF 1.3| TOV 1.1| PTS 15.3
Previous ranking: 5th
It was a pretty regular month by J.J. Redick’s standards. His scoring is down a bit, but that’s fine because he’s still shooting very efficiently from the 3-point line which is what the Sixers need most from him. It should be noted that Redick was two assists away from getting a triple-double against the Charlotte Hornets.
