3 shooters the Philadelphia 76ers should target during the trade period

3. Mirza Teletovic, Milwaukee Bucks

Now in his second season with the Bucks, Teletovic appeared in the first 10 games of the season before being sidelined due to arthroscopic surgery open his left knee. When the on the floor, the 6’9″ Teletovic averaged 7.1 points in 15.9 minutes game, which featured shooting at a 46.7 percent clip from 3-point range.

Thus far this season, among the 74 players who have averaged at least 4.0 catch-and-shoot attempts per game, Teletovic ranks first by shooting at a 51.2 percent clip from the field. Furthermore, his 50.0 percent return from 3-point range also leads all players who have averaged at least 3.8 attempts per game.

Primarily suited as a stretch-4, Teletovic has maintained an elite level of shooting from distance since entering the league in 2012, currently holding a career 37.5 percent return from long range.

With the Sixers, Teletovic would primarily slot into the backup 4 spot behind Saric. In terms of acquiring the 32-year-old Teletovic, a combination of salary-matching and a future prospect would enable the deal to be fair on both parties.

While Amir Johnson would help fill the center void left by the recent departure of Greg Monroe, Furkan Korkmaz gives the Bucks an intriguing future piece on the wing.

With Simmons having the ball in his hands, Embiid controlling the paint, and the perimeter filled with snipers such as Teletovic, the Sixers would look like a more dangerous team overnight.
