@Philadelphia 76ers

The Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers were all ready and waiting to snatch the Arkansas product on the open market. Players like Council don’t last long when they go undrafted. Lucky for Council and the Sixers, his oldest brother suggested Philly.



Thank you Ricky Council II.

And fuck Danny Ainge.

>Ricky IV feels plenty of gratitude for the Sixers’ brass taking a chance on him, especially knowing they didn’t have a draft pick.

>“Wherever I end up in my career, I’m always going to be super thankful for them,” Ricky IV said. “Why I’m even more thankful for them is they didn’t have a draft pick. So they technically didn’t look over me. They didn’t have a draft pick. They got me out of everybody, so I was their No. 1 pick — me and \[Terquavion Smith\]. That’s how I look at it. So at the end of the day, if this is my last year or I get cut tomorrow, I’ll always be blessed to have them.”

    >The best example of Council’s confidence might be found when he was asked about possibly competing in next year’s Slam Dunk contest.

    >So, would he do it next season?

    >“Yeah,” Council said.

    >“I’m gonna be in the All-Star Game next year, so I’ll be there anyway.”

    I love this guy so much
