BREAKING: 76ers SIGNING Kai Jones After Workout? Sixers Meeting With 1st-Rd Draft Pick; 76ers News

So this is pretty interesting the Philadelphia 76ers planning to work out and meet with former first round pick Kai Jones who is a first round pick 19th overall in the 2021 NBA draft out of Texas a big with a lot of size a lot of length but some weird things have

Happened to him recently hopefully though he’s back on the right track we’re going to dive into this I’m Chase senior you’re watching 76ers now thanks for being here with us hope all of you out there getting set to have a fantastic weekend before we dive into this make sure you subscribe to the

Channel because whenever the Sixers make a move whenever there’s Buzz out there surrounding this basketball team we talk about it right here on the show your One-Stop shop for the most informative insightful and entertaining Sixers content right here on YouTube so the news coming from Shams chanana NBA

Insider don’t act like you don’t know who sham is he tweeted this out that Easter Conference playoff contenders set to meet and work out the former first round pick Kai Jones who is hopeful for an NBA clearance soon to play again Philadelphia 76ers as we know behind

Joel embiid could use another big on this roster and Jones is a very interesting player an interesting Prospect and certainly an interesting background story because mentally unfortunately it didn’t seem as though he was is all there and that’s why right now he’s jobless and he was let go by

The Charlotte Hornets but he has a lot of pedigree and I remember scouting him when he was playing at Texas a big who could run the floor block some shots throw down some dunks on the Twan game dashing to the cup decent hands and when he was at Texas he played really well

Former 19th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft raw talent and I thought that was the case when I scouted him because I do a lot of NBA Draft work here at chat sports when he was coming out of Texas I’m like man he’s got long strides he’s

Long two-way impact possibility but he’s so raw can’t shoot not much of a feel for the offensive side of the floor but he’s extremely athletic now he was released by the Hornets in October after some concerning offc Court incidents it just didn’t seem as though he was is in

A great mental spot to put it lightly and obviously a lot of us out there are dealing with some mental battles if you are I hope that you’re doing okay reach out to me if you need some help or somebody else but according to Shams Kai

Jones has quote worked on himself in a better place mentally since that release and he’s trying to get it all together keep in mind this could be coming from the agent who’s trying to get his client a job you always have to have those conversations too and I imagine the

Sixers as a front office are having those conversations why this move though would make sense Sixers have two open roster spots they need front Court depth Jones has upside if he can keep his head on straight because we’re talking about a player here who is still only 23 years

Old because when he was drafted he was a young bull so with that let’s ask you this do you want the Sixers to sign Kai Jones producer chip is joking around with me he like if this means the Sixers don’t have to play Moab anymore that’s

Great s for a sign or P for pass now speaking of producer chip let’s bring him on camera here because I’m all for Taking Chances on players with upside especially when you need some front Court depth and you never know could he fulfill and tap into that potential I

Just don’t want him causing headaches chip what say you I you said it perfectly you don’t want him causing headaches now again as you mentioned he’s still young very athletic to Sixers clearly they don’t like their front Court depth that’s why they’re going out here trying to make these type of moves

It’s been very difficult without embid you know it’s all pretty much falling on Paul Reed and mo Boma and you know Paul Reed’s great little undersized moama just I feel like every time he moves in the court his feet are in concrete right he just can’t move so to me Kai Jones

Gives you someone who he might not be 7 feet tall he’s 610 but he is crazy athletic canum out of the gym and you know what they’re saying that he’s doing better mentally I’m sure the Sixers will do their due diligence in that regard if

He’s doing fine I’m all for it I’m all for it I love it and sometimes as an organization you need to be aggressive and as chip noted as I noted he’s got pogo sticks for legs man he can leap and that allows him to be that alleyoop

Threat it allows him to blocking out their shots at The Rim now coming up other front Court free agent targets that the 76ers could sign it’s so funny I take a gander at the comment section chip does as well that’s when we chop it up with some of our loyal viewers down

In the comments section everybody so in on DeMarcus Cousins is he one of the options we’ll get to that coming up around the corner first if you want free Sixers coverage this is your go-to spot we’re closing in on 14,300 subscribers and we are 73 people

Away from that number so help us out let’s appease the bosses and let everybody know that our Sixers coverage here on the show is special and a go-to destination speaking of DeMarcus Cousins free agent Target number five we’re going to put him on this list because he’s worthy of talking about especially

Because he’s of interest from so many Sixers fans last time he played in the NBA 2021 2022 Denver Nuggets he was averaging nine points per game 5 and a half rebounds 4 6% from the floor a reason why I’m out on Boogie he had to play in Puerto Rico last year best days

Are behind him hasn’t been the same player since getting injured and you had the Achilles injury you had the blown quad before the injury issu started to stack up what a run he was on we’re talking about a decade long sample size of him averaging 21 points per game 11

Rebounds few here and there 46% from the floor 33% from three a lot of bigs then weren’t really letting it fly from distance after that though number supplemented nine points six boards under two dimes and the field goal numbers not ideal and because he was never really much of a three-point

Shooter that’s why his game kind of aged a little bit because he lost that explosiveness and athleticism and he couldn’t supplement that with being able to Str broken from downtown now Boogie would be a fun name fun discussion Point there’s a good chance though that he’s cooked in fact I think that’s probably

The realistic approach there coming in at number four is jichael green last year he was playing for the Golden State Warriors and as Steve cerr was mixing with that rotation in that playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers J Michael Green actually started a couple of games in that series for the Warriors

A stretch four or five who can knock down the three he’s long I think the conversation with him too though is that you know clearly his best days are behind him and in 2022 2023 six plus points per under four rebounds 54% from the field the good thing is almost 38%

From three-point range year before that sub 27% but then you look at the previous two years from 2019 through 2021 he was hovering around 39% 4 % from three positional versatility is certainly intriguing with you Michael Green he’s not quite the quote unquote big that you might want but if you want

A floor stretcher who can knock down that corner Trifecta he can give you that coming in at number three Tony Bradley the former sixer who was playing pretty good ball and then the Sixers traded him to the Chicago Bulls and just hasn’t quite had those opportunities since then like he was showing some

Flashes for the Sixers but Joel embiid and the Sixers really liked him as a player they were disappointed to see him go and 2022 2023 point and a half per game less than a rebound 50% from the floor and his last four years the big season for him

Coming in 2020 2021 when he played 42 games seven points per six rebounds like rotation minutes there seven and six you’ll certainly take that another player here is chimi meu and chimi meu good athlete he can guard a couple of different positions he checks in at 69

225 this year limited sample size of course five points per game three rebounds under 51% from the floor he will hustle he will give you effort and a few years ago he too had a little bit of Promise 60 games played in 2021 2022 and you know he was able to put forward

Nine points per 5 and a half rebounds 45% from the field he’s not going to stretch the floor at all he’ll occasionally give you a block for him being 69 225 we’re obviously talking about bigs here undersized but as I said he gives you that high energy and high motor I’ll

Tell you this chip knows this as well one of the big disappointing things about the Sixers playing awful basketball of late is simply just their lack of effort sometimes on the defensive side and lack of concent ation and under Nick nurse you don’t want to see that and when you’re without Joel

Embiid you need that effort to be maximized night and night out little bit of an offensive game for him but not much and then at number one he continues to be available and he continues to be a person and a player who we discussed here on the show and that’s Robin Lopez

Don’t get him confused with his brother Brook Lopez they are not even close at this point because Brook Lopez evolved his game he stretched his offensive Arsenal out to the three-point Arc where he started knocking down some threes and that’s allowed him to get paid

Handsomely and to have a big spot and a big role for the Milwaukee Bucks Robin Lopez traditional low block Center if this is the early 2000s he’d definitely have a job 7 foot 281 lbs but year by year in his last four production’s gone down minutes have gone down play has

Gone down and when you can’t evolve your offensive game this is kind of the byproduct of what happens you get aged out and phased out at the NBA level if you’re a big but is he better than Mo bomba he’s a steady veteran Presence at the Sixers could use

And need the thing that mobaba gives you other than him going to Westtown which is a cool story right off 926 shout out to 610 but Mo Baba can shoot the three at least a little bit and he’s at least maybe more of a springier athlete as compared to Lopez so we’ll

Round out with this be the gentle manager who would you sign to fill the roster spots for Philadelphia here limited names because these players are free agents for a reason I know some of you might even say nland Noel you just have to question his desire to play

Basketball make sure you subscribe to the channel as well yearr round Sixers coverage right here on 76ers now producer been cooking and hope everybody out there has been enjoying the Show
