Maybe just as good as Tucker small ball 5 he's only 2 inches shorter and can actually jump

I wonder if Louis King will get a legit shot at making the team next year with Shake’s inevitable departure. Springer will need to be the defensive role player off the bench, but we won’t have any real creators at the two position other than Harden. Helps that he’s 6’8.

Watch on YouTube

Despite me being a critic of him pre draft, it's surprising he fell to us in that draft. Bluechip background, had solid shooting stats, played elite defense. He just had a boring brand of basketball (which doesn't bode well in college basketball for a prospect) and a shaky jumper from outside, but the stats suggest there's upside. He was also incredibly young. Great pick by Morey.

"We're with the Vipers!"

In all seriousness Springer, based on those highlights, looks like the best player on the floor, far ahead of the rest. Some of that defense looked LA Fitness-esque, but still impressive. We hanging this title in the rafters along with the Nova titles and Philadelphia Soul banners?

Philly sports have been good this year.

Now let’s see what 76ers can do in the post season.

He's gonna be available, getting playing time is another thing.

He's starting today, in fact

Springer and Mac were by far the highest scorers for the Bluecoats championship team. Here are the other key players:

Michael Foster Jr. (starter)
Louis King (starter but came off the bench for 1 game in the playoffs and missed another - still averaged 30+ mpg)
Charlie Brown Jr (Was behind Champagnie until he was waived, then started for the rest of the season and playoffs)
Braxton Key (Started 2 games in the playoffs - was first off the bench all season)
They used a short 8-man rotation in the playoffs. The only other 2 players getting any significant time were Patrick McCaw and Justin Smith, but I don't think they have a future here. King and Braxton Key are in line ahead of them.

McClung shot 47.4% on threes in the G-League regular season. That's his highwater mark over 2 seasons, but he's shooting 40% (188/470) across two full seasons, including regular season, playoffs, and showcase cup. That's not a small sample size. He might qualify as a sniper if his defense lets him stay on the floor.

How often does the champ get zero players on any of the All-League teams? That just happened to the Blue Coats.

How much of a chance do McClung and Springer deserve? I think we should get them each 5 games at 20mpg to see what whether they can make it as a rotation piece.

Springer deserves 20+ minutes per game for sure. He's the best backcourt defender on the team and has shown flashes of on ball scoring potential. McClung is unfortunately too small, doesn't really provide much in terms of distribution, defense. He might just be a career G Leaguer. I'd rather see more of what Louis King can do, tbh.
