Bucks, Hornets, 76ers Interested In Gary Talton, D-League's Assists Leader

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 4:09 pm

The Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers are exploring the call-up candidacy of Gary Talton, the NBA Development League’s assists leader, league sources told RealGM.

Behind 13 games of 10 or more assists, Talton has averaged 13.2 points, 10.2 assists and 40.6 percent three-point shooting this season. He has split the year with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, his current team.

Talton had two 20-assist performances earlier in the season with Rio Grande Valley, where he was surrounded by a bevy of shooters to feed passes. The 6-foot-1 point guard has notched double-doubles in three of his last five games with Fort Wayne.

Talton, 24, finished his collegiate career at UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago), averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 assists, four rebounds and 34.4 minutes per game as a senior. He went unselected in last June’s NBA Draft, with predraft workouts for teams, including the Memphis Grizzlies.

How will the Sixers convince him to take that downward step?

Oh, I forgot going from the D-league to the NBA is a downward step? Thanks for the update.

The Sixers joke horse has been dead for a long time. Really old at this point.

12 months should suffice
