The Philadelphia 76ers have some dogs on their summer league team. I think these players might actually be big time contributors to the Sixers bench this season.

[@klass_1221]

Well that was the word on Nurse in Toronto. He doesn't utilize youth. Here's hoping he will use the backups more.

[@user-tc8ip8lr5e]

He literally won a chip with a combo of youth and vet and he ran the offense around Scottie Barnes. What young player did he not play? Council is big better than Tobias rn. That’s just a fact.

[@jabarwright4333]

This is gonna sound crazy, but the Sixers with their lineup and bench unit right now and we'll still probably add a couple pieces like veterans minimum guys and things like that, but if you squint it's kind of like an alternate version of the OKC Thunder and what they're doing. All of a sudden we have a lot of youth on this team and balancing that out with the veterans that we did get is a no brainer. We went from having no developmental guys to having three or 4 within a year and that's crazy.

[@andrewsammons9643]

Between Maxey and Council, we didn’t have a lot of prospects. Suddenly getting Kelly back for three years (28), Martin for FOUR years (28), and drafting two guys who are shockingly NBA ready at age 20, we have quite a bit of youth in the building along with our four old heads.

I had a blast watching Bona play last night. Exciting young player. McCain played better than I expected, but his shooting was brutal. I assume that is an anomaly, since he’s known as a sniper. Ricky Council didn’t belong there and it showed. Too good for summer league. Needs more court time this season. He’s a player.

[@amonone399]

Ricky Council I dont even have to say anything. Bona is a young lion and ready.Jared McCain showed what he can do even with his three point shot not going and that tells me a lot.

[@jabarwright4333]

Something else that DJ brought up that was interesting is when he said maybe we don't get a power forward. When you look at the roster we have a lot of athletic wings and I can't believe I'm saying that where depending on matchups you can start someone different each night. You can have a line up with Caleb Martin and Kelly Oubre or you could have a lineup with potentially bringing in Ricky Council or Bona. The versatility is off the charts for what you could do so far with this lineup and it's not at all stagnant. My biggest question would be who fills out the rest of the roster and I really do hope we don't bring back Kyle Lowry because Nick Nurse will just force feed him because they're best friends.

[@jasongts]

10:34 You underestimate the amount of homeless shelters that Tobias Harris will build from his corner 3-pt bricks

[@C-DAVID]

Depth Chart As Of Now With 5 Open Roster Spots - i still think they need: Starting PF/Backup PG/Backup SF/Backup PF 1ST TEAM STARTERS Maxey Martin Oubre George Embiid - Martin & Oubre can Guard 1-4 & George can Guard 2-4 so they will just mix it up defensively - Oubre is the 6th Man if they get a Starting PF 2ND TEAM McCain Gordon Council- PF???- Drummond - i think Council could stay as the Backup SF but Nurse & Morey may want a Veteran 3RD TEAM- Just Bona for now - McCain & Council would be on 3RD TEAM if Sixers get a Veteran Backup PG & Veteran Backup SF - I agree w/you bro that Dowtin can help at Backup PG -I also agree that McCain can help at Backup PG too if Sixers focus on developing his PG skills more & more so McCain can be a legitimate PG/SG/Combo Guard

Put some respect on Ricky's 3 ball. Its an awkward release but enables him to be a deadeye shooter on close outs. And no ur not over reacting, I stated last vid, Bonas intensity and toughness will make him more of an impact than our 1st rounder. Counsil and Bona on the court with Drummond is the toughness Philly's been needing.

BTW DJ, new shirt idea & nickname going with "C4" for Ricky Council IV #Sixers #C4

[@EMVPIID]

I watched that draft combine scrimmage with Bronny James, where he supposedly played so well that his entire draft stock went up. Honestly, bronny looked god-awful giving up turnovers that he should’ve never. But my biggest take away without a doubt was How damn good Adem Bona looked. I think this guy won’t get huge minutes right now, but she has the type of energy that made me excited about the ball Paul with a little bit more refinement. Very excited to see what he can be if he can limit those fouls.

[@mscottlawrence2037]

[@dwaynessixersaccount-d9t]

RC4's 16 was given Caleb. Maybe RC4 show in summer opener put him in trade talk

[@eMe.Hache.]

I had some similar sensations with those 3. Bona's intensity was awesome. He is raw offensivelly but I see the motor in him. He screamed "gimmethatshit" while blocking his first shot. McCain seems to me more a 2 guard than a point guard, so it's interesting to see how he is going to develop and what his role is going to be. Ricky Council draw a lot of fouls attacking the rim too. And what do you make of Aluma, although allowed a couple of and1s on defense with some weak fouls, he looked good on offense and rebounding the ball.

If Gary Trent wants to compete for a chip, I'd say a bench of: McCain, Trent Jr, Ricky Council, Adem Bona, Andre Drummond, and Eric Gordon is a great rotation. Would love to snatch Tyus Jones as our backup PG, but i think Trent has more of a chance of signing a vet minimum.

I feel Bona is going to get a regular NBA contract, he stays within his limits and is steady. Im not worried about McCain's shooting, he has good form and is a very good free throw shooter so he'll be ok. Council should get impactful minutes at power forward and the three. He is showing that confidence in year two and is even bigger in stature than last year. The new kid Aleem or Aleve looks like a shooter also. Its early but just like football, the young fellas will have to really earn their contracts in preseason games.
