LeBron James' New Role on Philadelphia Basketball Team

In the new NBA season with Philadelphia, LeBron James can focus more than before on assists and rebounds.

According to Sports Three, American basketball superstar LeBron James, on the eve of his 24th NBA season, will probably play a different role in the Philadelphia Sony Sixers; A role in which creating opportunities for teammates and helping the team in rebounding becomes more important.

جیمز با حضور در کنار ستاره‌هایی چون تایریس مکسی، جیلن براون و جوئل امبید، دیگر یکی از سه گزینه اصلی تیم برای کسب امتیاز نخواهد بود. For this reason, repeating an average of more than 20 points per match is not certain for him; However, his abilities in other parts of the game can still play an important role in the performance of the Sixers.

James recorded 10 points, four rebounds and five assists in 18 minutes in his first preseason game with a Philadelphia jersey against the Brooklyn Nets. Philadelphia lost the game 114-108.

In the 2019-20 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, James averaged a career-high 10.2 assists per game. He also averaged 7.4 assists in his entire NBA career. The seasoned player also averaged 7.5 rebounds per game in his career. Reports indicate that it is possible for James to play some minutes in the post center in the upcoming season; An issue that can increase his presence under the basket and his role in rebounding.

Given Philadelphia's star-studded lineup, James' scoring average may drop, but his contributions in assists, rebounds and other areas of the game could be very important to this team's championship goals.
