Philadelphia 76ers Quiz: Pick Out D Leaguers

NBA or D-League Candidate Number Four

Bryan Colangelo is beginning to send player evaluations elsewhere, as he is starting to question your recommendations.  You find that the other evaluator is overwhelmed, and you are given a rush order on a player’s stat sheets.   This is your chance to win the top dog’s favor.  His secretary tossed a pair of folders on your desk rather curtly.

You quickly scan and notice this is a pair of shooting guards.

Player one is a 22 year old shooting guard who played in 77 games and started in 41 of them. Player two is a 20 year old shooting guard who played in 76 games and started in zero.

Without hesitation, you flip back to the “Per 36 Minutes” section, and ask yourself why you are thinking about flipping back to the “Per 36 Minutes”.  You make a note to stop thinking aloud for the next recommendation.

Player one is shooting 46.0 percent from the floor, 40.1 percent from three point range, and 71.2 percent from the free throw line.
Meanwhile, you find that player two is shooting 40.3 percent from the floor, 37.5 percent from three point range, and 80.8 percent from the free throw line.

Player one is scoring 9.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per 36 minutes of play.
Player two is scoring 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 steals per 36 minutes of play.

Just as you reach for your cola, the phone rings and you knock the contents of the can all over your shirt.  You dab yourself off as best you can and finally answer the phone to a very impatient and annoyed Bryan Colangelo. You are overdue on the evaluation, and Colangelo asks if you need to see a doctor.  As you decline, he insists on getting verbal confirmation of your recommendation.

Who will you recommend to sign, and who will you recommend to pass on?
