After a season of growing familiarity, Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot knows how to play in the “Sixer System”.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot arrived raw to the Philadelphia 76ers last season. Raw, and energetic. So raw that he rarely saw playing time, despite playing for head coach Brett Brown who prides himself in involving every player.  The young guard needed minutes, lots of minutes, and there were too few opportunities for him in the NBA.

You see, he was so very raw.

Smooth the rough edges

But over time, the rough corners were smoothed over.  Foul trouble dissipated. As the season matured, so did TLC.  Playing time became more regular.  As the minutes improved, so did the offense.  In fact, TLC had and incredible month in April 2017.  In those six games, he averaged 18.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.

Those are impressive numbers, for a rookie.  This year, he is familiar with the team and the team knows him. So what can we expect from TLC round II?
