9. Furkan Korkmaz

November Stats: GP 11| MINS 14.5| FG% 39.1| 3P% 29.7| FT% 85.7| TRB 2.3| AST 1.6| STL 0.6| PF 1.3| TOV 0.4| PTS 6.6

Korkmaz may have been one of the biggest beneficiaries from the Butler trade. The lack of shooting after the trade has forced head coach Brett Brown to rely on the second year player. While the wing had a good string of games, he was overall inconsistent for the month. Until the Sixers add another shooter, it’s more than likely that the former first round pick will continue to see time off the bench.

8. T.J. McConnell

November Stats: GP 10| MINS 16.1| FG% 51.2| 3P% 28.6| FT% 100.0| TRB 1.6| AST 2.3| STL 1.1| BKL 0.3| PF 1.5| TOV 1.0| PTS 5.2

To begin the month, McConnell was losing time to Fultz as the team’s primary backup. However, once Fultz went to meet with a specialist about his shoulder problems, McConnell’s role in the second units rotation was solidified. He is a steady hand that can provide solid defense and playmaking off the bench. Until Fultz returns from rehab, McConnell should remain the team’s primary reserve point guard.

7.  Wilson Chandler

November Stats: GP 13| MINS 23.0| FG% 50.0| 3P% 37.9| FT% 33.3| TRB 4.2| AST 1.7| STL 0.3| BKL 0.2| PF 2.2| TOV 1.2| PTS 5.9

Chandler was dealing with his return from a hamstring injury. That put him on a minutes restriction for most of the month and being shuffled in and out of the starting five. Towards the end of the month, he was getting consistent minutes as a starter. Chandler provides versatility on both offense and defense as the team’s starting power forward. As Chandler gets healthier and more acclimated in the starting unit, he should have a bigger impact moving forward.
