#3 Furkan Korkmaz, Philadelphia 76ers, Shooting Guard
Over the last two seasons, Furkan Korkmaz has been slowly becoming a more significant piece for the 76ers. He has averaged 9.5 points in 20.6 minutes in those two seasons, taking 4.9 threes and making 39% of them.
His three-point shooting has been his biggest strength for the 76ers, and Korkmaz has played the sharpshooter role off the bench. A lot of his threes are off assists at 94%, so if Simmons is traded, that could influence his stats. Still, his floor spacing is a good weapon on the court.
With the rest of his game not being completely rounded out, it has lessened his minutes, but maybe he could see a spike in minutes this season. If he does, he should keep the same shooting percentages.
#2 Danny Green, Philadelphia 76ers, Shooting Guard
Danny Green, in his career, has been one of the most consistently good three-point shooters in the league. For his career, he is a 40% shooter from three on 4.8 attempts. He has offered floor spacing and a quality shooter for every team he has played for, and he still is for the 76ers at 34 years old.
Last season, Green took only 7.9 shots from the field, and 6.3 of them were from three. On those attempts, he shot 41%, and 92% of them off an assist. Simmons did play a big part in his production, so with him possibly gone, he could be the one starter who suffers the most.
Green has made a career off making threes, and that probably will not stop now. He might have a dip in his percentages, but still, just having him on the court opens so much space on the floor for others.
#1 Seth Curry, Philadelphia 76ers, Shooting Guard
Just like his brother, Seth Curry is one of the best shooters in the NBA. In just five seasons in which he played over 15 minutes, he has only ever shot under 45% from three once. In those five seasons, he averaged 4.2 three per game.
Last season was Curry’s first real chance to start, starting in all 57 appearances he had. He gave it his all, shooting 45% from the field on 4.9 attempts. This might have been a down year after he struggled with injures and COVID-19.
This season again, if Simmons is traded, Curry could see a massive jump in minutes. Curry can be a creative player for others, last season averaging 2.7. With Simmons gone, he would slide over into the starting point guard position. Furthermore, Curry had 86% of his threes assisted and can create his own shot from time to time.
Curry is already a dead-eye shooter, and if he can expand his game could become even more and might get that opportunity this season.
