Who might the Philadelphia 76ers tab to fill their two-way contract slots next season?
The Philadelphia 76ers don’t have any open roster spots — in fact, they actually need to trim down their roster between now and October. That doesn’t mean the importance of Summer League is reserved for those already on the roster, though.
With a pair of two-way contract spots now open, the Sixers will need to decide whose development is worth investing in. Jacob Pullen, Demetrius Jackson, James Young and James Michael McAdoo all held two-way spots at some point last season.
As things currently stand, the Sixers have likely focused their search on the Summer League roster. With that said, there is plenty of undrafted free agent talent available league-wide. Poaching someone from another team isn’t out of the picture.
That’s especially true with how deep this year’s class was. For example, Trevon Duval was considered the top point guard prospect coming into the 2017-18 season. After an inconsistent campaign at Duke, the talented guard went undrafted and is fighting for his NBA life on the Rockets’ summer squad.
Brett Brown has already done an excellent job traversing a difficult free agency market this offseason, with moves left to be made. The final piece to the Sixers’ proverbial roster puzzle, however, is the two-way contracts — and they have to chance to add some legitimately intriguing talent.
