Ben Simmons struggling with free throws

Ben Simmons played a solid game last night against the Boston Celtics. He contributed 15 points, six rebounds, two assist, one steal, and two blocks. He shot 50 percent from the field, but he struggled with his free throws making only three of his 10 attempts. Ben Simmons shows that he can fill the stat line in every NBA game, but he really has to improve his free throw skills. Simmons loves to attack the basket thus it is imperative that he can make his free throw shots with consistency.

Markelle Fultz scores 12 points

Markelle Fultz scored 12 points in last nights game against the Boston Celtics.

He scored 12 points along with two rebounds, two assists, and one steal. He was 5-11 from the field and 2-5 from the charity stripe. Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons will play a big role for the Philadelphia 76ers this upcoming season along with Joel Embiid. If the Sixers can click, they actually have a chance to make the playoffs, especially with how weak the eastern conference is.

Terry Rozier records a double-double

Terry Rozier played a big role in last night's win against the Philadelphia 76ers. He contributed 15 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block. He made 62.5 percent from the field, 100 percent from the three-point line, and 57.1 percent from the free throw line. The Boston Celtics are filled with guards this preseason with Marcus Smart, Shane Larkin, Jabari Bird, Kadeem Allen, LJ Peak, and Daniel Dixon.

This game was great for the Rozier as he showcased how talented and how much potential he has for the Celtics.

Jaylen Brown fills the stat sheets

Jaylen Brown filled the stat sheets last night against the Philadelphia 76ers with 12 points, nine rebounds, one assist, and one steal. He shot the ball very poorly shooting only 38.5 percent from the field, zero percent from beyond the arc, and 66.7 percent from the charity stripe. Going into the season, Jaylen Brown will be the primary guy off the bench for the Celtics, and he will be second only to Gordon Hayward for the small forward position. The Boston Celtics are considered to be the main team to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. If they can play together, they may be able to dethrone LeBron James and the Cavs.
