Easily the youngest and most intriguing of our new additions. Does he have a future here beyond this season? Time will tell I guess.

Not re-signing McClung finally makes sense

He looks to be the most explosive player the sixers have had in a while. He's a tweener(ofcourse) forward at 6'7 with a 6'7 wingspan, but he plays bigger than his size because of his athleticism. Not expecting much but atleast he can be a running mate and lob threat for Maxey. Can run the break , catch lobs and straight line drive. His 3pt shot is inconsistent.

Don’t know ish about this guy. Hope he’s great! If not, oh well!!!

yay. another young guy I can overrate and show clear bias towards

Athletic guy who might make a 3 once a week

we ball

Amazing athlete. Mediocre advanced stats, but young enough that those could go up considerably. 3pt shot looks inconsistent so far, but the athleticism is enough that he could be special if he adds better skills.

The mean-mugging after the dunks looks kind of silly, but the dunks are amazing.

Welcome to the Sixers! Hoping to see him succeed here!

The new Thybulle?

Remember kj McDaniels?

He reminds me of him

Youth and athleticism, what a lovely thing to have. Now, let's develop those skilllzzzz...

He's the best player out of the return that we got in my opinion. Give him minutes because he's going to produce if we do.

I would start KJ. That athleticism would add a much needed element to our 1st unit. Would love to see him and Maxey on the fast break.

Might not close with him, though.

One of the most explosive athletes in the entire league. He had 173 dunks in 82 games last season.

Career 54.4% from the field. Ultra efficient, does not waste possessions.

If Nurse can teach him how to shoot, it's a homerun.

Does anyone know if he can defend SF's?

I like the athleticism and upside, but a quick look at his stats shows his two biggest weaknesses:

1) Shooting 3's
2) Defensive impact

So basically he's the exact opposite of a 3&D player currently, which makes him of limited value as a winning role player. Hopefully he can improve those two areas since the athleticism is obviously a plus.

I don't think he's known as a defender. That said, he's been playing in a structure-less organization in Houston. His defensive numbers this year in L.A. have been much better. So maybe he'll defend better on these winning teams than he did in Houston.

I think under Nurse he can become a hell of a defensive player. I'm telling you right now, he was an absolute steal for us. Get him in a structured environment, give him a role and he's going to flourish.

He’s shooting 20+% on corner 3s, he should improve that area of his game.

Dude has hops. Like father, like son!
