Didn’t Maxey get some post all star burn last year and a few playoff minutes? (And we all wishes he had gotten more time earlier!) maybe history repeating itself

I think they handled that right. Shake was legitimately better than him in the beginning of the year. Maxey improved a lot over the course of the season.

With Springer, it's been kind of bizarre how they've had so many guards out and they've still refused to play, or a lot of the times even call up from the G League their first round pick who is a guard and seems to be playing pretty well. But I guess they have a plan for him.

Some okay numbers. Game still looks unpleasant to the eyes.

Also he'll fit right in alongside Tobias with how much he loves to pump fake and dribble in from the 3 point line.

[Negrodamus]

Depending on if we make a move at the deadline, I could see him seeing time by this year. If not, rotation next year. He plays high effort defense with good instincts while not being an offensive zero.

Video is from a few weeks ago, but this guy gives a good break down of how far he's come while in the G League. I'm hoping we can get him some PT as the year closes so we have some defensive options in the playoffs if we're desperate.

Yeah, while i doubt it happens, i'd really like to see us call up Springer and Bball Paul and give them some run.

Springer looks promising but for him to be good in the league he needs to learn those vet tricks guys like Wade and Butler do to create space and make it hard for the defense to defend his shots. Until then, he may have a hard time scoring around the rim.

[Skates]

Watching the recent Blue Coats highlights, where Bassey rightly looks like a man among boys, I noticed consistent contributions from Braxton Key. Any chance this guy can develop into a fifteenth man for wing/PF depth? Looks like he might be a late bloomer with good wing size that is developing some range and active on the floor making things happen and being productive. Not sure if he has potential to do that in the NBA, but maybe folks watching more can comment on him.

I don’t know if I’m giving too much credit, but since Elton took over the draft in 2019, we have gotten some really good value late first and second round.

Thybulle- Elton poorly telegraphed this pick and had to give up a future pick to secure Thybulle, but great pick.

Shayock- was a good prospect for a late-first.

Morey came in for the 2020 draft, but leaks already identified Elton as promising Joe that we would draft him.

Maxey- amazing value for where he was drafted.

Reed- still developing, but may end up earning minutes for a contender.

Joe- slow developing, but looks like an NBA rotation guy.

Bassey- again, the expectations of the late second-round are low, but Bassey is one of many who could be an NBA rotation guy. With Joe and Bassey, it looks like they might be trying to identify players with the skills to play a valuable role off the bench.

Springer- don’t know much about him, but his defense looks good. No real NBA tape on him.

Even the year of the collaborative, Zhaire was a bust, but Landry and Shake were very good picks for where they were selected.

With some high end talent in place, the ability to develop contributors around them is key. The Sixers have several guys who I could see battling for a spot in the rotation very soon.

All the more important to have quality youth to develop with the lack of picks. Another part of the genius of Morey refusing to include any of our youth in the Harden trade.

Good lord Springer played bad yesterday in 26 mins of play (2 pts 1-4 FG, 0-3 FT)

Bassey with a good game - 21 pts, 5 blks, 8 rebs, even made a three
Braxton Key - 26 pts (3-3 3FG) 3 stls, 9 rebs
Powell played well, scored 19. Aaron Henry with a nice 22.

Springer. When Morey was asked by Eskin about what to like about Springer, he said he like Springer’s defense and body control in finishing at the rim.

Spoiler:

Trash

[76ciology]

I do think the plans to have Reed or Bassey to play with Embiid if Embiid continues his natural decline in his athleticism.

It’s easier to find Reed or Bassey type guys in the drafts with late first to second round picks.

SETH CURRY WHO?!?

SIGN THIS GUY.... I mean, CALL HIM UP!

You honestly have to wonder why a kid who can shoot like this won't get at least a look given our dearth of shooting.

Actually, I don't wonder that at all.

I know I’ve been irrationally a fan of Powell, but he was one of the more dynamic scorers as a junior at Seton Hall that we’ve seen in the past five years. Was truly a force and the focus of entire team’s defense. If he were 2-3 inches taller, we would be watching him on an NBA team.

Drew fouls and consistently hit contested threes. His difficulty for scoring was extremely high. Was stupid to return his senior year.

[Kobblehead]

One of the reasons NBA teams didn't give Powell a shot was because he shot 26% from three in conference play as a senior. Well, in the G-League, he's been a consistent 40% shooter from three on really high volume. You don't have to hand him the keys to your offense, but at least give him a shot to be a Patty Mills type for you. As much as the city is falling in love with Tyrese Maxey, there's still a major void of spacing in the vast majority of our lineups because guys like him don't shoot. Powell would bomb away in a 20 mpg role and create incredible gravity.

[Negrodamus]

I'm going to assume that he shot so poorly during that stretch because of his ankle injury that eventually turned into his lawsuit against Seton Hall. If you go back and watch him play at SHU, it was remarkable he was able to get shots off at all, much less with an injury. That team was devoid of an offensive game plan.

[phillynative]

Why cant charlie brown knock down anything when he plays with the 76ers. I would bring Springer and Brown up for defensive purposes its not like shake and furkan are going to give us anything.

You've all been put on notice, Myles is back!

Lock Powell up to a Hinkie Special next year.

Think it’s too late for this season.
