The Philadelphia 76ers are striving to improve the performance of Ricky Council IV, who has struggled significantly this season. Currently, Council boasts a shooting percentage of only 39% overall and 27.3% from beyond the arc. His recent games highlight a rollercoaster performance, including a notable 1-for-11 effort against the Thunder and a 6-for-9 outing against the Spurs. Coach Nick Nurse has pointed out that while many of Council's catch-and-shoot attempts are reasonable, some are taken from deep with low efficiency.

Coach Nurse stresses the need for Council to capitalize on his athleticism by driving more towards the basket instead of settling for tough turnaround jumpers. The goal is to enhance Council's transition game and get him to the rim, where he excels. The Sixers are focused on helping him find better shooting opportunities as they approach the final stretch of the season.
