Philadelphia 76ers Summer League Winners & Losers Ft. Jared McCain & Ricky Council | Utah Edition

[Music] welcome into the show this is Philadelphia 76ers Now by chat sports I’m Chase senior coming up Summer League winners and losers the Philadelphia 76ers wrapping up their third and final game during the Salt Lake summer league we will revisit this following the Las Vegas summer league that’s kind of the more notable summer league session but the Sixers going one and two losing in close fashion to both Memphis and Utah they did beat the Oklahoma City Thunder when Ricky Council went off in that fourth quarter and the Sixers they have some really intriguing young players on this team so we’re going to take a look and dissect who exceeded expectations and who hurt their chances of making an NBA roster I do want to pop up today’s poll question though because I just want to gauge where the audience is at have you watched the summer league yet a lot of people might not realize that the Salt Lake City summer league was going down over the last couple of nights why for yes and for no let us know right now the clear and obvious leader of our summer league winners portion of today’s show is Ricky Council the fourth clearly Philadelphia really likes his prospects of being a rotation player in this league that’s why Daryl Mur advocated and then signed him to that contract extension which makes him a very affordable player coming in off the bench especially if he can contribute and he bought out during the summer league he looked like an NBA player going up against some not NBA players and that’s exactly what you want to see against the Oklahoma City Thunder he scored 17 straight points in that fourth quarter at one point 29 Points for the game eight rebounds on top of that he was nine of 18 from the field five of 10 from three and six of seven from the free throw line if he could develop that three-point shot he can really be a cost controlled asset and weapon and then the next night seven points four rebounds the shooting not as good two of nine from the field one of five from three but two of two from the line but then he rebounds from that and plays really well 20 points an assist six of 11 from the field 50% from long range two of four from the three-point line and then six of seven from the free throw line the fact that he shot well from the free throw line and from three is certainly a good sign because you know he’s a really good athlete he adds the shooting to that he can be a bench player in this league the positives from him an improved outside shot he showed off the athleticism we know that he has bunnies had a little bit of an ofed dribble game and then some really fancy finishes inside and I do believe that as you look ahead Ricky Council has an opportunity to be a rotation player for the 76ers and this this is why coming out of the Salt Lake City summer league I thought Ricky Council was the biggest winner for the Philadelphia 76ers in each of the three games I thought he played really well he displayed an improved outside shot given the athleticism he can also defend at a really high level he looked comfortable at the free throw line and the shot is something that he needed to improve from his rookie campaign and you saw why Philadelphia gave him that contract extension and giving him that NBA deal and if he can be a rotation player for Philadelphia a team that doesn’t have a lot of money because they’re giving and paying Max contracts to Paul George Tyrese Maxi and Joel embiid that will do wonders for Philadelphia because I think that he can be a weapon and if he can be a cost controlled asset and weapon it gives the Sixers more depth winner number two from the Salt Lake City summer league is Jared McCain I know for the real ones who watched he did Miss some shots he did struggle a little bit from the field he also did some really nice things average 10 points per game throughout the summer league four rebounds two plus dimes I do think that he can continue to be a better passer at the NBA level he did only shoot 29.4% from the field and less than 19% from three to me he looked a little bit Rusty but some of the strengths were the strengths that I saw at Duke and keep in mind that at Duke he started the season slow and then he finished it strong and I think once he gets acclimated once he gets his feet wet once he gets a little bit more comfortable I think you’re going to start to see some of the potential there the numbers don’t look great but he looked good on the court at times he operated and played very much like a veteran the alyo to had Dem Bona in that first Summer League game was filthy with that left hand he was able to finish around the rim the quick release from three looks to be a confident player and if you disagree that he shouldn’t be a winner this is why we think he’s a winner right he looked comfortable he was in control both on ball off ball that’s what you want to see if he’s to see the floor of Philadelphia this year he’s going to have to play both roles off ball with Tyrese Maxi on ball in the non Maxi minutes he showed great hustle and energy and a good feel a good temperature and a great awareness for the game Summer League winner number three the second round pick following the first round pick in Jared MC and that’s adona I think the Sixers could have a steal here he really could be a freak athlete at the next level and as he becomes more seasoned and he develops a little bit I can’t wait to see what he can do in the front Court switchable Defender good lob threat when he’s moving with momentum to the 10 he is dangerous a look at his numbers and the three Summer League games in Utah night one he played 24 minutes 7.7 boards three ass six 101 from the free throw line two blocks game two that defensive potential was on display five blocks in addition to six points four rebounds he was 0 of two from the field but six of six from the free throw line you want a big who’s comfortable from the stripe therefore he’s not a liability late in games and then in the Utah summer league finale 21 minutes 4.6 boards two a five from the field two blocks and three steals so he contributed so much on the defensive then and that is the starting block of what he can be and how he can see the floor early in his career if he’s a little bit raw offensively that’s fine but if he can impact games athletically defensively he could get some minutes I thought he showed off that defensive potential would just highlight real worthy blocks and then getting in the way of passing Lanes he’s very strong and the fact that he was comfortable at the free throw line that’s a good sign moving forward he does need to have more discipline on defense sometimes he can overcommit sometimes he can get a little bit handsy the body can get out of control 13, three games that was a problem at UCLA but keep in mind he didn’t start playing basketball until he was a teenager and then lastly Jeff dton he is not going to play in the Las Vegas summer league for whatever reason the Sixers declined his options so technically he’s a free agent he can sign with another team but you saw why he got some NBA minutes this past year and how he has some experience under his belt against some par competition he fared well that’s good for Jeff Dalton if he’s trying to crack an NBA roster 17 points per game in those three games played in Utah Five assists so you saw some of the passing ability he’s long and lengthy 59% from the field and 50% from three he looked like the best player on the floor at times and that included going up against some other more well-known NBA draft draft prospects from this rookie class he created shots off the dribble he had some pullup threes nice little floater game and he also created for others may have earned himself a roster spot maybe with the Sixers if not with another team maybe he’ll be a preseason invite to see if he can make this squad so with that most impressive player at Summer League there chip who comes to mind yeah I think no doubt it’s Ricky counil just seeing him out there he looks so confident he looks like a player who was playing with other players that were not quite to his level he looked like the guy both him and D I think looked the most confident out of all the players for the 76ers I mean Ricky counil there was a stretch in that last game where he took two deep deep threes in a row nailed them both had that crazy dunk where he bounced it off the ground and grabbed it and slammed it in like it’s the dunk contest so he was really feeling himself and looked very very good and more comfortable on the offensive side of the ball and then dton just a very reliable scorer he he kind of seems like he knows the spots he wants to get to he loved that little off the screen Sid step pullup three he loved the little floater in the mid-range and then seeing the two rookies show flashes is also great as well obviously McCain you know want to see the offense get going but his first few games in summer league I’m not worried about that at all it it was really encouraging for me honestly to see him play his own pace and they were talking about this in the broadcast as well like he just looked like a vet I mean so in control had that you know change of direction that stop start you know kind of lull the defense asleep get him on his back and get that shot up in the in the mid-range floater area he wasn’t always able to hit it yeah but he was able to get to his spots then Bona of course tremendous Defender so all four of these guys including some other players for the Sixers showed some good things and I’m excited to keep watching most of these guys when they start Vegas summer league here on Saturday Las Vegas summer league is Chip said getting underway on Saturday couple of those games really looking forward to seeing the continued growth and development of some of our winners and we’ll see if some of the losers who are about to get to can make some strides and make some improvements let’s shift gear us to this question here who were you most impressed with during the Utah Summer League drop us a name or names Down Below in the comment section right now and we’ll get to our summer league losers I was high on Justin Edwards as a udfa first five-star player to not get drafted until or going back to like the late 90s or the early 2000s and at Kentucky had a good left-handed stroke obviously coming out of high school highly touted recruit shooting efficiency wasn’t there looked a little bit slow I thought the handle was also loose we’ll see what he can do in the Las Vegas summer league he’s going to have to prove himself because he had a couple of Clunkers here first game against OKC 18 minutes no points 0 of2 from the field 0 of one from three so not a lot of opportunities there but I was surprised he did shoot the foot uh Sho the basketball a little bit more and then the following night 25 minutes 14 points five of seven from the field three of three from three that was his best game and then in the finale 21 minutes Four Points five rebounds two a nine from the field and 0 of three from three why he’s a loser offensive game is Just clearly raw and has a loose handle I thought it was funny how the Sixers tweeted out a highlight of him going to the cup with a good finish if you look at the result but the process leading to the result he was out of control I mean the handle was all over the place and his body was out of control and then he just kind of threw it up and he got it to fall but that handle was loose no doubt bad jumper not really a great feel for the game that being said game two you saw some of the flashes you especially saw some of the flashes with the potential that he has as a solid Defender because he does have some decent size to him loser number two Judah Mintz not a lot of people very familiar with Judah Mintz but the Sixers have one two-way spot left mince is fighting for one of those spots and he did not show off scoring or the playmaking that he’s supposed to have across three games just eight field goal attempts he was only able to take one three-point shot didn’t hit it had 14 points and two assists in 44 total minutes so when you perform like that just not going to have an opportunity to make the squad and then lastly how far Romeo lford has fallen he’s one of our losers here for this segment he’s still only 24 years old and for Romeo lford he was the 14th pick by the Boston Celtics in the 2019 NBA draft it doesn’t look as though we’re going to see a failed Celtic become a good sixer he didn’t get any minutes as a more veteran player trying to find a spot in the NBA and the fact that he was the final pick in the lottery and now he can’t sniff youah summer league minutes that is not good for his NBA future who is Your Biggest Loser of 76 six or summer league so far it’s got to be Romeo lenford for me just because of the draft pedigree and where he was taken sound off with what you think down below that Las Vegas summer league schedule will pop it up once again against the Pistons on Saturday Trailblazers on Monday
