The Philadelphia 76ers have an abundant supply of big men. However, they are lacking talent at shooting guard and at the small forward position.

While last summer’s number-one-overall pick Ben Simmons is listed as small forward, he can play multiple positions. According to CSN/NBC’s John Clark, Ben Simmons could also play as their PG.

Muhammad would be a great scorer for a team who ultimately struggles to find output from anyone but their big men. Becoming an option for a kick-out for Joel Embiid and the Sixers’ other bigs would be a solid role for Bazz.

Shabazz found his groove from three during the middle of season as he was shooting a lights-out 53 percent percent from deep in January. It would be near impossible feat to keep that up for the rest of the season, of course, and he finished the year shooting just 33.6 percent from three.

If Muhammad continues to work on his shot, however, he would be near impossible to stop on offense. As he already has a good inside game, and can score and draw fouls via the drive as well.

With a lot of cap space to spend this off-season, the Sixers can afford to pay Shabazz with ease.

Philadelphia is a young team on the rise that could use depth at the wing position, and Shabazz Muhammad should be able to help out greatly in that department.
