This Daryl Morey comment on Ricky Council is something..

Ricky Council has proven plenty of people wrong but he’s not done yet 54 minutes ago Liberty Ballers 54 minutes ago Liberty Ballers let’s read this get off the screen what is that Ricky Council the fourth has surprised Everyone by earning time as an undrafted rookie now he knows there’s work to be done to become a rotation piece for the Sixers I don’t bro Ricky Council earn playing time and somebody tweeted me one of his poster dunks yesterday and every time I see it it pisses me off that he didn’t get a minute in the playoffs it makes no sense when you see guys like Andrew nard seconde players or Derek Lively Dallas Mavericks rookie Center you know getting heavy playoff minut young guys can play uh Rick and Council the forth did something this season that few undrafted rookies have been able to do he earned minutes and won games for a team that viewed itself as a contender short injuries opened up opportunities for the Arkansas Product but boy did he make the most of those opportunities Daryl muray targeted Council as soon as the highflying wing wasn’t selected in the 2023 NBA draft but even the Sixers president of basketball operations was surprised by the rookie impact this a Daryl mury quote right here with Ricky the way it normally goes and we spoke to Ricky about this in his exit meeting is your first year you almost have no chance especially if you’re undrafted you have to prove yourself in the g- league which he did the second year you really have to focus a lot on what you need to improve and if you do that you then need to give a coach the reason to play you because you’re probably not going to play a whole lot even in your SE why why why is that set in stone so you showed incredible upside you showed a lot of tools in your just player makeup that the Sixers are lack we’re we’re lacking right in front of your face we like hey can we get a physical Wing who plays hard who can dribble a basketball who can finish at The Rim who’s going to hustle for rebounds and he’s like hey I’m right here and they were like yeah but you’re undrafted doesn’t make any sense who the cares where when he was drafted in your in your second year you really have to focus a lot on what you need to prove and even and if you do that you then need to give a coach the reason to play you because you’re probably not going to play a whole lot even in your second that’s stupid darl M that’s stupid that’s dumb that’s Flatout stupid Eric spola took five undrafted players to the NBA finals and you’re sitting here telling Ricky Council yeah but you still might not play in your second year even if you improve and you’re still good enough to play you were undrafted it’s your second year we’re going to play older veterans is everybody Doc Rivers bro is Daryl myy Nick nurse is this just did Doc Rivers just infiltrate the minds of the damn Sixers front office man I did not know this article piss me off this much it’s stupid man why would you tell him he’s not GNA play in his second year he should have played his first year anyway let’s move on what council likely heard was challenge accepted the North Carolina native had quite the journey to get to this point defying plenty of odds along the way this off season will simply be a continuation of the work he’s already put in all the optional days we have it’s not optional for us Council said all the blackout days I probably missed two or three but other than that I was still in here so it’s a lot of work uh he played 289 minutes two games of Sixers don’t win without Council February 10th in DC and April 7th in in San Antonio in both instances he was unexpectedly thrust into action in both instances he played a huge part oh yeah that San Antonio game man he he literally saved the entire team and sent the game to overtime Ricky Council the undrafted rookie that you’re not going to play because you’re undrafted even in your second year you’re not going to play because you’re undrafted dude he had like hard takes to the rim and one finishes through contact I don’t understand this one the Sixers always blow my mind the Sixers always just continue to impress me with how poorly run they are but I thought it was I was like okay the Tobias Harris thing is over the Ben Simmons thing is over Isaiah Joe thing we can’t keep crying about Charles Bassie has a backup center it’s over now they’re going to start to do things the right way they got Nick nurse in here and they they just they just present me with another thing that is that doesn’t make sense it’s just the Sixers man they’re they’re just like oh you thought we were done doing dumb [ __ ] check this out undrafted g-league guy who shows more fight and strength around the rim and and dog mentality than anybody outside of Tyrese Maxi on the team we’re not going to play him and he’s going to be he’s going to have some really good minutes in the regular season when the playoffs come around he’s getting zero and we’re going to play Tobias Harris in crunch time and he’s going to give us a goose egg and we’re going to continue to play and we’re going to play 38-year-old Kyle Lowry until he can’t freaking walk anymore and we’re going to lose in the first round it’s the stupidest [ __ ] I’ve ever seen man let’s see if we can find an article that makes us happy before we get out of here

  1. NN was the coach. People love NN I dont see much difference with him and Rivers. NN doesnt try anything new. He kept throwing that stiff Harris out there but didnt try Council. Look at all the coaches left they seem to try new stuff when its not working. Morey is a moron. Look at a shit load of teams play undrafted players Miami, GS etc….This is why Morey is about to set this franchise back a decade cause Morey is still obsessed with wash so called star players. Does Indiana Minnesota and Dallas have more then 2 star players? I think they only gave Council a contract cause the fans pressed him seriously. They signed Dowtin before Council I mean come on.

  2. Lol, Sixers won't play him. If he were a free agent right now without playing another dribble, he'd likely get a 4 year 30 million dollar deal and minutes in any rotation in the league. This guy couldn't get a few minutes over Lowry/Payne in the playoffs? You'd think a GM would do backflips for an athletic wing who finishes at the rim and hits 3's well above league average right out the box.

  3. The Sixers mgmt will probably wait until after this next season to make big changes. Morey has had four years and the team is getting further away from a championship. If I was a GM I would get the best role players possible to surround Maxey and Embiid, especially a dependable backup center with size to spell Embiid. Morey instead may get an over the hill so called star and it won't work. You need to get away from three stars, go back to two and surround them with a solid supporting cast. Look at Minnesota for instance. If Sixers fail again, Morey gotta go and they need to trade Embiid before he completely breaks down.

  4. They should have gave Council minutes during the Knicks series. Martin also should have gotten minutes. Young guys with hops were needed and Nurse just sat them both the whole series.

  5. I'm willing to bet Council not playing in the playoffs was more of a Morey decision than a Nurse decision…

  6. Agree. Her should have played more during the season and that should have dictated his playoff minutes. That article was clap trap

  7. They aren’t trying to be successful. It’s obvious they’re purposely stunting the sixers but I have no idea what the motivation is

  8. I started watching NBA around 2018 – Cos i'm Australian and Ben Simmons / Thybulle. I stayed a 76er fan even after those 2 were gone. But i swear – this organisation could have SO many good young players – but they NEVER GET A CHANCE and are traded or waved – given away!

  9. Sixers aren't cursed…just stupid. Why am I a fan when I hate three out of every four things they do…
