Its probably also nice to have Council, if Oubre is struggling. Then hopefully Roco can be available at some point.
If Lowry is struggling, we could insert Dowtin. And hopefully Melton at some point.
Then if Maxey is struggling, we could insert Hield or Payne.
Back in February, I was told by somebody in the organization that Melton’s career is in jeopardy. They don’t think he will be able to play consistently due to the stress fractures in his back. Since then, he has had two interrupted attempts at coming back. It looks like Caris LeVert had a similar injury. This person didn’t have first-hand knowledge of Melton’s injury, but said the sentiment in the organization is that they are assuming he is done, and if he does play, then great. It doesn’t seem like he will, at the very least, be healthy for this playoff run.
Thanks for sharing! This explains a lot on why Melton’s been pushing back his return.
Do you have any news about Roco?
No. I don’t know the guy very well and haven’t talked to him since, but the Sixers listed Melton out with stress injury and back injury at different times, so it’s seems to be stress fractures in the back. Not good.
